Bug ID: 104561
Summary: Improve usability in dialog for Java start parameters
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: roland.il...@gmx.de
Description:
The dialog for editing the Java start parameters unnecessarily restricts the
user's actions.
1. It is not possible to copy all the start parameters
2. It is not possible to paste all the start parameters
3. It is not possible to change the order of the start parameters
4. When the focus is in the upper text field and the user presses Enter, the
dialog closes instead of adding the parameter.
5. After assigning a start parameter, the focus is in the list of parameters.
It should be in the input field.
A better solution would be to have a single multi-line text field and a label
saying "Java start parameters (one per line)".
In the screenshot, the example has double backslashes, which I think is wrong.
At least it contradicts the information on
https://help.libreoffice.org/5.1/Common/Start_Parameters.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Extras > Settings > LibreOffice > Advanced/Extended, click on the
[Parameters...] button.
Actual Results:
A dialog appears that is difficult to use.
Expected Results:
A dialog appears that is quick and easy to use.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
