I thought the meeting was on the 15th, next week. Regarding the screencast, I'm not sure what I am suppose to look at. In the first row, I see text that demands more space than the width of the column, which is not related to the current topic. Then there are cells with numbers or text, with two kinds of triangles, in opposite corners. Are users trying to read the content of each cell when the zoom factor is, say, 40%? I don't know how I am supposed to compare the 2 situations. Is the height of the cells increased? IDK. Anyway, I have repeated the logical arguments several times already, just to answer to the same viewpoints that were not really solving the original "problem". My guess is that not many are actually reading them. And I keep investing my time too. === Let me propose a simple alternative === Having the possibility to display/hide the comment indicator, not just within the Options dialog (where it currently resides), but in the menu and/or the toolbar (as comments themselves currently are). To be clear, this would be independent to whether to display or to hide the comments themselves. Being able to toggle the comment indicators "on/off" in (rapid) sequence helps to notice the presence of a comment indicator (for Eyal) and it also helps when the content of a cell is not readable because it clashes with the comment indicator: the user turns it off for a second, reads the content of the cell and brings the comment indicator on again. With this alternative, you can leave the comment indicator just as it was until LO 7.5. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
