Bug #: 46518
Summary: UI: Header, footer & and page break indicators in
multipage view
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: the behavior of the blue indicators for page breaks
(button + dashed line) and header & footer areas leads to a UX nightmare when
having multiple pages visible in the view layout. I have attached a video
screenshot demonstrating all that goes on while I am simply trying to copy and
paste some text frames from one page to another.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In Writer, open up or create a document that has multiple pages and some
page breaks between them. (In mine, there is one for every page.)
2. In the View > Zoom… menu, set the View layout to 'Automatic' and adjust the
Zoom factor so that your pages go into 3–4 columns.
3. Scroll around and edit the content on the pages any ways you want, and try
not to be annoyed by Writer's…
Current behavior: which, at least for me, includes 1) the inconsistent
placement and flickering of the blue page break buttons, 2) the header and
footer area indicators popping up obtrusively when you hover near the top or
bottom of the page, and 3) Writer losing track of where the focus/scroll status
should be, bouncing the view up/down on its own.
Expected behavior: none of the above.
Platform: LibreOffice 3.5.0 Build 350m1 (Build:13) running on an up-to-date
Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).
