Bug #: 44347
Summary: Docking some panes is very unintuitive on X11 systems
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.3.1 release
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: rgrocottbugzi...@gmail.com
Under Windows, it's possible to redock a floating pane by dragging it to the
edge of the screen. This isn't possible under Ubuntu Linux 10.10.
Certain panes (in particular, the Slide Pane in Impress, and the Page Pane in
Draw) don't contain a dropdown "View" menu in their header. X11 users therefore
have no obvious way to redock these panes. Worse, undocking is a very simple
action (click-and-drag), so users are likely to accidentally undock such panes
and find themselves unable to redock them.
While it is possible to redock panes using Ctrl + double left-click, this isn't
indicated anywhere except in a difficult-to-find part of the help
documentation. Would recommend either that a Dock/Undock toggle button is added
to the relevant panes' headers on X11 systems, or (if possible) drag-and-drop
redocking is implemented on those systems as in Windows.
