            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.
