But, the mousover still suggest that "single click" works. So this is clearly a UI bug. The options page you are referring to is required to a) make the feature more accessible to non-mouse users, and b) help people who don't know about this feature how to get back the white space. Finally, it also enables users to enable / disable it - as you said. This option is also available in MSO 2007. > LO Writer needs a setting to make its Print Layout view automatically hide > white space between pages.

Again, I think users will benefit even more if we deliver a good draft view that provides clear separation between different view modes. MS even offers a "symptoms" description for "lost users": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/my-top-margin-is-missing-HP010024038.aspx (If we need more discussion, we should switch from the issue tracker to the design list, I think...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
