Bug ID: 114899
Summary: VIEWING: smarter positioning of deleted text in track
changes mode (considering word boundaries)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: registracije+lofficeb...@lynxlynx.info
Editing in track changes mode can be quite annoying, since the mishmash is hard
to read (cf. bug 46188). One small improvement would be to avoid word
"splitting" when rewriting them.
When a user selects some text and types in something new, the cursor position
depends on the side she made the selection from (left: end, right:start of the
selection). This is fine if you are replacing anything but the start (left
sel.) or end (right sel.) of the string. So no problem if you're changing the
middle of the string.
Example: rewriting the "ban" in a RTL selected "banana" with "Hav" will
produce: "Hav-ban-ana". Since the two surviving parts are now split, the
resulting word is harder to read.
My suggestion is to add a heuristic, wherein the cursor position is overriden
(flipped) if it was placed at a word boundary. That would make the example turn
out as "-ban-Havana".
No idea if this is truly appropriate for a VIEWING tag.
