Bug ID: 153777
Summary: FLUID page number indication option: on / off
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j...@cspv.hu
hi,
I appreciate the new page number indication system...
I was surprised, so intelligent!
but it's not that good on the long run.
It is good in that people don't have to place their cursor in the document in
order to see where that page is...
But it's not so good when two pages are on the screen...
cause you'll read the info like this:
"pages 3 and 4 of 4"
this will always require a second glance at the screen..
when someone is rushing over 100 pages... cool..
but when you're writing those 100 pages, its not so cool anymore...
including that you have endnotes, too...
and your mind is simply incapable of keeping in memory all 2 data:
if you have or don't have endnotes (already)
if you are viewing the upper or lower part of the screen at the very moment...
and then, you'll have to decide if 3 or 4 is your actual number...
EVERY time..
instead of an indication, it gives you two numbers to choose from, basically :)
it would be good if the fluid feature could be toggle switched... on / off
but I'm sure this will (again) fit 90% of the users, so, maybe people who
actually write, using Writer, should adapt to the masses, cause it would be
unfair the other way around -- wouldn't it?
