--- Comment #34 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- Not that it will change anything, but just to add my ha'penneths worth to the disgruntled user base whom this change affects. I use this "power" feature every time I type a letter with my scanned signature inserted into it. I deliberately anchor the image to the page, and have done now for over 20 years of using StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice. This page constitutes my signature page, and is preceded by a page break. If I use an existing document to overwrite and/or modify its content, then having the signature remain on the allocated last page is a useful check to make sure I haven't left anything I don't want by mistake. As a result, for all of this feature being deemed a "power user" feature, the change has broken my longstanding workflow. On both a personal and professional level, I don't find that at all helpful, nor do I find the recommendation by some here to "simply" reconfigure the submenu with the appropriate UNO command to be appropriate either. The fact is that user configuration changes to menus/submenus have had a tendency in my experience in the past to get overwritten by newer versions of the software. What that means is that I've gone from a simplistic workflow to a now much more complicated process of having to reconfigure the menu, and hope that my change doesn't somehow get overwritten with a future version update, and/or save my application configuration somewhere else. Please would someone explain to me how that has simplified my life ? By all means, encourage users to use the software in a way which is deemed "the one true way", but please don't remove stuff that people have relied upon for 20+ years and then tell them that they only have to "simply" reconfigure their environment to bring it back. That kind of approach doesn't endear users like myself to the product. It is literally another straw on the camel's back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
