Bug ID: 150237
Summary: No line numbering until 5th line is confusing to new
users
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If I:
1. Create a new Writer document
2. Go to Tools | Line Numbering
3. Enable "Show Numbering"
4. Enter a few lines of text
then nothing happens!
Now, yes, if you start the fifth line of text, you see the "5"; but what if you
have less?
Users who are just using this feature for the first time may well be confused.
I suggest either some kind of pop-up dialog / tooltip / whatever be used to
notify the user of what's going on, or alternatively, that the default interval
be changed to 1 line - in which case the user will immediately see the
numbering; and if they want numbering at intervals, they can just change the
settings.
