Bug ID: 157154
Summary: Permanent changing Paragraph Style Dropdown in LO 7.6
is unusable and a WCAG violation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The new LO 7.6 feature
"The Paragraph Style dropdown (in the Formatting toolbar) now gradually
replaces the default list with styles used in the document rather than always
showing the full list at the top. tdf#152666 (Heiko Tietze, TDF)"
changes the positions of the styles in the drop down list with every usage of a
style.
That is a complete mess and makes the whole styling unusable! (Mus revert to LO
5.5 to get a working styling back.)
But, regardless of my own opinion, this behaviour is also a direct violation of
WCAG Guideline 3.2 Predictable: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#predictable
(and especially 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation, 3.2.4 Consistent Identification,
3.2.5 Change on Request)
And the WCAG are not only for Websites, but also for applications the most
relevant accessibility rule set in the world!
If you like your new "feature" too much, to revert it completely, make it an
opt-in (WCAG: 3.2.5 Change on Request). But never ever let the current mess
unchanged!
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Writer document
2.add some paragraphs
3.apply different styles from the Style dropdown
Actual Results:
listed styles changing positions => never have the same order as before (which
can be selected also blind!!!)
Expected Results:
Same styles list order every time, never changed (wihtou an active "opt-in" to
the new behaviour in LO 7.6
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
