Priority: medium Bug ID: 80617 CC: libreoffice-ux-adv...@lists.freedesktop.org Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: UI: Simplification of status bar page numbering Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: philip...@hotmail.com Hardware: Other Status: UNCONFIRMED Version: 4.2.5.2 release Component: ux-advise Product: LibreOffice The status bar page numbering system is quite confusing, especially to new users, especially when you have multiple page styles in a document. Examples of this can be found in < http://www.microsoft.com/investor/reports/ar13/docs/2013_Annual_Report.docx > where on one page it shows 'Page 4 / 302' and then on the next it shows 'Page 1 5 / 302'. I also came across a document not so long ago that some pages in the document looked like 'Page 2 1 / 3' and others looked like 'Page 3 / 3' because LibO shrinks page numbers that look like 'Page 3 3 / 6' into 'Page 3 / 6'. As i dont know where the file is that i saw this in, i was playing around to recreate it and LibO showed me a page number 'Page v / 5'. I finally decided to send this issue in when i came across a tweet yesterday of a similar issue < https://twitter.com/Rosella500/status/482578903115247616 > which the user stated the status bar showed it like this 'Page 1/3, Page 0/3, Page 1 3/3'. As the actual page's page number is an optional thing to be displayed, i think the better means of displaying the actual page's number is after and not before and to always show it, even if its equal to the numbered page number. e.g. 'Page 5 / 302 ( 1 )', 'Page 5 / 302 ( v )'. I also think a tooltip would be quite useful to explain this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
