Bug ID: 90571
Summary: Writer: UI: searching in Special Characters by various
ways; scrolling; and dialog's/command's name
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.8.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Special Characters dialog needs to be better at supporting a search.
I'd like to search by character name, Unicode identifier, hex position, and
decimal position. It's easier to get an em-dash by going to Wikipedia's article
about the dash and copying the character for pasting. I found U+2012 through
U+2015 in the DejaVu Serif font General Punctuation subset, but I don't know
which one is the em-dash.
The vertical scroll bar is confusing. I expect more characters in the font's
subset, but dragging the scroll bar down counterintuitively takes me to another
font if the font menu is preselected or to another subset if the subset menu is
preselected.
Although the menu item is appropriately named, the dialog is misnamed; clearly
it includes nonspecial characters, like 0–9, A–Z, and a–z, as well as special
ones. I'd just name it Characters.
I'm running LibreOffice 4.2.8.2, which is still being updated even if it is at
EOL. If these features have been added to the latest LibreOffice version,
that's good enough.
I guessed my hardware.
