Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |NOTABUG --- Comment #8 from Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #7) NOTABUG, see below I think there are (at least) 2 possible uses for form controls such a Combobox a) In a Standard text you have a sentence where 2 possibilities can be selected, for example a quotation standard text with "Without any warranty" "2 years warranty" Or "Mr." / Mrs. / Miss." Of course, Author does not want to have a selector in the final printed or PDF exported text b) questionnaires with poll results There were several selectors, for example age of responder "Less than 20 years " "21 ... 50 years" "more than 50 years" and similar. It will ease to understand the contents of the document if it is visible that there was a choice (and it was not a poll only for people "21 ... 50 years"). Because the document may not be changed after it has been sent by responder, "PDF Form" is not an option. And so here a behavior different from "a" would be useful. My conclusion: Currently "a" is supported by LibO, "b" is not. If someone thinks that "b" (or even a different "c", "d", ...) might be useful he can submit an Enhancement Request for an additional option/function/whatever, but not to replace the existing behavior. @nrbrtx: If you can contribute a conclusive scenario showing that typical users of an office suite (NOT web page designers!) need such a different behavior please submit an enhancement request. And pleas do not mix up "Print Preview" and "Page Preview" in your argumentation. And a dentist and a plumber both might know a lot about tongs, but the experiences are not transferable. In a similar way I think web design has some needs and habits different from those in office world for what LibO is. But of course, LibO is open for good new ideas what are related to office use. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
