Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58135
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: : No Transparency what Happened with Changed Options
in Sub-Dialogs of Option Dialogs
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
To my opinion not all aspects mentioned in bug 39452 are resolved. The comment
list of that bug is quite long. So I tried to disentangle this a bit with new
bug reports. This is the forth of them.
The function of the buttons OK, Cancel and Revert in option dialogs is not
transparent if there are sub-dialogs with additional options. Especially it is
not clear, if these buttons are also valid for the options in the sub-dialogs.
I found these sub-dialogs with additional options:
(a) LibreOffice > Security > Security options and warnings > Options...
(b) LibreOffice > Security > Macro security > Macro Security...
(c) LibreOffice > Java > Parameters...
(d) LibreOffice > Class Path...
(e) LibreOffice Writer > Mail Merge E-Mail > Server Authentication
(f) Language Settings > Writing Aids > Edit...
Proposal in order to enhance transparency: Sub-dialogs with additional options
should be avoided. If necessary, existing option dialogs should be split. For
example the dialog “Security” can be split to “Security of Documents”,
“Passwords for Web Connections” and “Macro Security”.
Additional to this enhancement proposal I found the following 2 bugs related to
sub-dialogs:
[A] Sub-dialog “LibreOffice > Security > Options...”
(1) Open sub-dialog “Options...”.
(2) Check “When saving or sending” if unchecked. Otherwise uncheck.
(3) Click “Cancel” and open sub-dialog again. Despite clicking Cancel the
option has been saved. Expected: No change of option.
[B] Sub-dialog “LibreOffice > Security > Macro Security...”
(1) Open sub-dialog “Macro Security...”. Security level “High” is displayed.
Button “Reset” is not greyed.
(2) Chose tab “Trusted Sources”. Now “Reset” is greyed.
(3) Chose tab “Security Level” again. “Reset” is still greyed. It's nearly
nothing, but I would expect, that “Reset” is greyed already at step (1).
(4) Chose “Very high”. “Reset” changes to "not greyed".
(5) Click “Reset”. Security level remains “Very High”. Expected: Reset to
“High”.
For me it is not clear, if the button Reset in this dialog shall have the same
function as the Revert button. If yes it should be renamed to Revert.
I did not check all sub-dialogs, so there may be similar bugs in other
sub-dialogs.
Operating System: Windows 7
