That sentence shows that you might only use Calc sporadically at best; and I don't mean as part of the UX Team but as an actual spreadsheet "builder/user" focused on real use of Calc. If you were building formulas frequently, especially with the FW, you would have noticed the difference in user's performance already. So your proposal would be to be less efficient for users that were more efficient before the change? No, I have to disagree. The process should improve efficiency while users gain experience. I repeat; the original proposal was to _optionally_ include the functions' descriptions in the search. The current result of tdf#146781 makes the process less-efficient while users are supposed to improve in their experience. That's not really an improvement, especially in the long run for users. One thing is to make Calc easier to use for newbies; another one is to make it harder for experienced users. That is not an acceptable cost for Calc users. Please don't push experienced users to leave Calc for other spreadsheet tools. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
