Bug ID: 156538
Summary: Insert Symbol menubutton should indicate symbol name
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Insert Symbol dialog lets one see the name of the selected character (under
the enlarged view rectangle). This is often important, especially for:
* Distinguishing glpyhs which look similar (e.g. en-dash vs em-dash vs
horizontal bar),
* Inserting characters in languages foreign to yours, where you identify glyphs
only by name
* Non-printing characters
However - using the Insert Symbol _menubutton_ on the toolbars, there is no
indication of the character names.
We should add such indication in one, or both, of the following ways:
1. Add a framed label which shows the name of the hovered-over character.
2. Have tooltips for the characters with their names
Bikeshedding: Perhaps show the Unicode hex value as well has the name
