--- Comment #6 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > For me (Linux/KDE, tested with gen,gtk3,kf5) the "Fields" menu item is > always enabled but the submenu items are disabled until the edit mode. Not under MS Windows in recent LO Dev 24.2 (but yes in 7.6.0.3); the sub-entries are not shown when the Field entry is grayed out. Showing the sub-entries (in gray when adequate, as in LO 7.6.0.3) is more clear for (new) users. IOW, keep "Field" grayed out when relevant, but also show the sub-entries (also in gray when relevant). > So we could > remove Fields from the main menu (or show it only when in edit mode, > although that's no a good solution). It would make the entry harder to discover and to learn about it, as this report shows. The feature is already not immediately understood (or at least how to use it, requiring edit mode); let's not make it harder. In the meantime, we have now shown a regression in UX in LO Dev 24.2 vs 7.6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
