--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #5) > Tools -> Line Numbering is well covered in the help [1][2] That's not a valid argument IMHO. The UI (and UX) should be immediately effable, without the user having to consult the help text. In other words, Help is a "second line of defense" against the user not managing to use the app like they want to. > and in the Writer Guide [3]. That's not even something users can be expected to notice. I mean, it's great if they do, but - how many users do we think have ever opened it? If it's 5% I'd be surprised. > See no reason to adjust current numbering interval default from 5 > to 1 other than more "hand-holding" for Benjamin users. Well, if you think this suggestion is too focused on "Benjamin" users - the interval could be persisted (or be pref-controlled), so once a user becomes non-Benjamin, their preferred interval sticks. Also, again - 1-interval is the common use case and the default elsewhere. Even those who want intervals many not want 5, as opposed to 2 or 10, as the default. > While doing so would end up annoying users bcz it is self evident on a > document with more than 5 lines. It's not self-evident even then. Perhaps by 10 lines it is self-evident. And the fact that it's not self-evident by the second paragraph is bad. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
