--- Comment #5 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

Also note that for crashing issues, crash reports already include a signature
that makes it easier to link reports to each other, and metadata that contains
the last 4 UNO commands used. See for example the Metadata tab in
https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/e0ef61ce-4916-41f9-9d30-1f57c5cb1579

I understand that a precise ID would help the search queries, and that UI
strings do evolve over the years, but I agree with Buovjaga here that the
effort to get a "normal" user to provide such information would be as much (if
not more) effort as the QA contributor doing it themself.

We can't include these command IDs by default in the UI for obvious reasons, so
the most efficient workflow would be to tell the bug reporter to "please
include the ID by turning on an expert configuration option in the settings,
restarting LO and repeating the steps". It might even scare off some reporters
who already find Bugzilla daunting...

Because the reporting of bugs is to be done in English, the command is usually
easily identifiable. And if it isn't, QA contributors will add the name in
English in the comments or summary – sometimes even with the corresponding UNO
command.

I'd recommend reporting this idea separately.
