Bug ID: 92450
Summary: General setting to disable UI animations
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In GTK and in Windows there's a system-wide general setting to disable
unnecessary UI animations (most importantly, it exists to reduce seizures in
sensible subjects).
I think the system-wide setting *should* be honored, but I would also favor
adding a switch in the general preferences dialog.
Also, I strongly dislike poorly though-of UI animations. They introduce
unnecessary delays in the UI, sometimes glitching the UI if you click too soon
while the animation is completing the cycle (which is *always* the case).
I'm not speaking about document animations (which can already be disabled), but
about UI animations in all the LibreOffice components.
One such example I discovered today, is the animation of the "Comments" header
of LibreWriter. Open a new writer document, enable the top ruler and document
comments. On the right side of the ruler, a Comments pane/header can be toggled
by clicking on it. Clicking results in immediate action (the comments are
shown/hidden immediately), while the header takes a full second to complete the
fade in/out cycle due to the hover effect, that you cannot skip. After a
second, the comments header is also shrunk, which reduces the ruler size and
thus repositions the rule in a delayed manner. Besides feeling odd, it's also
completely unnecessary (the system hover style/timing/color is not respected).
