Bug ID: 85984
Summary: View selection / web layout/ print layout - not
clearly indicated!
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.3.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

print mode selected - can you tell?
This appears to have been reported before in 39511 - but perhaps not well
communicated. 39511 should be reopened.
Under View/Print layout or View/Web layout - both do the same thing. They
toggle between each other. The GUI interface fails to clearly show which mode
one is in - I did not realize the view mode was indicated at all until I was
detailing this bug. This is because there is a a very faint out-line that can
hardly be seen around the icon in the view menu - thus the confusion I see in
several bug reports. Could be OS or desktop dependent?
I've attached screen shots - this probably effects other settings as well.
Fixing the selected icon display will greatly improve the value of the bug
reports.
(for the record running KDE on a Debian box)
- this detail provides context to many of the bug reports about view selection.
I have caused documents to become modified by changing the view - anchors
shift. Do not shift back. I was hoping to find information in the bug reports,
but because the mode status is not clear - the bug reports are not useful.
The first step in fixing this is to provide a better indication of which mode
one is in.
The documentation is also wrong it states:
"Changing document views
Writer has three ways to view a document: Print Layout, Web Layout, and Full
Screen. To change the view, go to the View menu and click on the required
view."
This is not correct - there are 4 modes: web, print, web-fullscreen,
print-fullscreen.
