Bug ID: 123307
Summary: Tabbed Interface - No It's Not
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The latest version of LO says it introduces a "tabbed interface." Perhaps you
don't know what a tabbed interface is. Look at any web browser. What you have
introduced is that god-awful ribbon interface. Years ago, IBM produced a
product named Lotus Symphony, which was basically a better interface on top of
OpenOffice code. It had a real "tabbed interface." It opened 1 single window,
with every document on a separate tab in that window. When IBM/Lotus
discontinued that product, they released the code to the OpenOffice community.
Yet years later, neither OO nor LO seem able to produce a product that is
capable of having 1 window with every document on a separate tab in that
window, something web browsers have been doing practically forever. LO, OO, and
even MS Office still need a separate window for every document. This gets
pretty messy when you have 10 documents open. I have 2 requests/suggestions:
1. Stop calling your new interface by the false name "tabbed interface."
2. Produce a product with a real "tabbed interface." IBM/Lotus has given you
the code. It shouldn't be much more difficult than a copy/paste operation.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 10 documents.
2. Count how many separate windows are open.
3. Open 10 web pages in any browser.
4. Count how many separate windows are open.
Actual Results:
Step 2 = 10 separate windows are open.
Step 4 = 1 window is open with 10 tabs.
Expected Results:
LO should include capabilities that have been available for decades, the code
for which was donated to them by IBM/Lotus.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
