Bug ID: 158291
Summary: The term "Field Shadings" is confusing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
There's a menu item in Writer called "Field Shadings", which is described here:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/01/03080000.html
However, the term "field shadings" is somewhat confusing. Things like soft
hyphens are not AFAIK generally called "fields" (in LO or elsewhere).
"Shadings" is also not a term that's used elsewhere in LO. This kind of
functionality is usually called "highlighting", or recently, "spotlighting", in
LO.
Changing the name to "Spotlight Fields" would fix half of the problem, but
ideally "Fields" would also be replaced with something more descriptive.
There's also "Index and table shadings", but I don't know what that does (it's
not described in Help).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, see View -> Field Shadings
2. See also

Actual Results:
A confusing term is used.
Expected Results:
A more descriptive term is used.
Reproducible: Always
