--- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- Thank you, Stéphane. We have requests to provide three different enhancements: 1. Distraction-free writing. (Bug 53895) In essence, nothing on the screen but a clean “virtual paper.” As with WriteRoom, OmmWriter, FocusWriter (open source), “distraction-free mode” in MS-Office, etc. 2. A “proofreading mode” by which to compare two different documents side by side. (Bug 31481, and more precisely defined there in Comment number 10) Lets you scroll both documents together in sync, in two panes in one window. As with the proofreading mode in MS-Office 2010. 3. A split screen for a single document. (Open Office bug 19291, https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=19291) Lets you independently scroll and edit two different parts of one document. Although each of these enhancements asks for minimal visible intrusion from the user interface, the three features are entirely different. Neither feature 1 nor feature 2 covers the use case for feature 3. Even though what Bug 31481 asks for is feature 2, what many of the users commenting there are pleading for is feature 3. Of the three features, feature 3 seems the one most often requested, but I couldn’t find a LO bug report for it. Before submitting Bug 153509, I saw Bug 31481. But what that asks for is feature 2. So I filed a separate bug to focus on feature 3 (and offer what seems like a feasible way to address it). Perhaps you might wish to leave all three of these bugs open and create a “meta-bug” to span all three, since they do all share a need to keep the user interface out of the way. By the way: Thanks to the devs for full-screen view, the “new window” feature, and the “Sidebar” view, all useful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
