--- Comment #8 from tor...@yahoo.com --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > We discussed this topic in the design meeting and recommend to not > implement. Writer is meant to be WYSIWYG. ● ‘What you see is what you get’ does not apply at the editing stage: you ‘see’ the cursor when you edit, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document; you ‘see’ the blue background of your edit window, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document; you ‘see’ a string highlight (eg, in a search), but you don't ‘get’ it in the document. Same for the currentLine: you will ‘see’ it (easily, thank-you very much!), but you won't ‘get’ it in the document. So, ‘changing the line color’ during editing does not ‘contradicts this effort’. > Text editors provide this functionality very well. ● Right. So, you are telling LO users to go and use their favorite text editors if they want to enjoy this functionality… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
