Bug #: 46141
Summary: UI: Header/footer prompts should only appear if user
clicks in header/footer area
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description: Place the mouse cursor in the header or footer area of a
document, or scroll the page so that the header/footer area moves over the mouse
cursor and move said cursor slightly.
Current behavior: After a second or two there appears a dashed blue horizontal
line across the page and a blue prompt labelled with a description the area the
cursor is in e.g. Footer (first page).
Requested behavior: The blue line and prompt should only appear if the user
explicitly clicks in the header or footer area.
Comments: It is distracting when the blue line and prompt appear spontaneously,
without any conscious action on the user’s part. One typically spends very
little time editing headers/footers, so these visual elements are almost never
wanted when they appear. The blue prompt can overlay part of the text you are
editing, requiring you to interrupt your work to move the mouse cursor. It
would be preferable if these features only appeared in response to explicit user
action, e.g. a mouse click in the header/footer area.
