Bug ID: 154368
Summary: UI: Status bar 'document modified' indicator/save
button horizontal placement inconsistent
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded Jumbo
The status bar (SB) horizontal placement of the 'document modified'
indicator/save button is inconsistent across LO apps. This inconsistency forces
a negative user experience of re-learning muscle memory in both visual search
and when the button is used to launch a SAVE action. The v7.5 behavior is:
Writer, Writer/Label, Writer/Business Cards -- placed against left SB boundary
(SB field 1 from left window boundary)
Impress -- placed right of center (SB field 5 from the left window boundary)
Draw -- placed right of center (SB field 6 from the left window boundary)
Calc, Writer/Web, Writer/XML -- placed right of center (SB field 7 from the
left window boundary)
I suggest a good practice for organizing SB 'simple' indicators/button
functions (modified/save, insert mode toggle, selection mode, digital
signature, vice 'wordy' fields such as style and language name fields) is to
visually group all those buttons that are common across LO apps and
consistently locate that visual group either against the left or right SB
boundary.
Regards.
