--- Comment #7 from Alex <[email protected]> --- First of all, thanks to Thomaz for restoring the first and last tab scroll buttons I asked for in bug 93318. I found the subsequent user comments in that bug commentary revealing in the variety of reactions to something so basically simple. Given that there would seem to be no approach which would please everyone, it's kind of a wonder that people such as Thomaz would want to volunteer their personal time to do anything! But, fortunately, they do, and the rest of us without such skills get to benefit. One of the apparent desires by other users is for controls that have no function in a particular context to not be visible. For a mouse right-click context menu, that is exactly what I would expect, i.e., to only see a list of things I can do in that specific context. However, I fail to see any harm in having a control visible which, at that moment in time, doesn't have any function it can be expected to do. It's presence is not doing any harm, the space it takes up can't be used for anything else, and putting in the code to make it visible/invisible as the context demands adds to the bloat of the overall program and makes the program less responsive. I support the concept of allowing users to customize which controls are visible, as this enhancement bug seeks to do. But, that's a one-time step for the user and the program, not something the program has to constantly evaluate. Thinking more about the specific topic of the tab scroll buttons, I offer the idea that the scroll one tab left and right buttons might be more useful if they scrolled one sheet width's worth of tabs, rather just one tab. One of the commenters in bug 93318 expressed the view that a large number of tabs in a workbook was more of a rarity. Perhaps it is for him, but for me it is very common, and I suspect I am not the only such user. Perhaps scrolling a sheet width's worth of tabs is programmatically difficult to achieve, but if not, doing so is more likely to bring the desried tab into view with one click than advancing only one tab. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
