Public bug reported: Probably this is not a bug, it's more an usability problem. As well I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu problem or a OpenOffice.org one.
In OpenOffice.org the icon for Bold is a B in bold, and the shortcut is Control+B. This is pretty logical. The problem is when you are using a language different than English. I use OOo in Spanish. In Spanish Bold is "Negrita", but the icon is the same B that in English. That's bad. The worst is that the shortcut is not Ctrl+B is Ctrl+N, it's coherent with the name in Spanish but incoherent with the icon. It's pretty confusing because you see a B, but you have to type Ctrl+N. The combination Ctrl+B opens the Search box, because "Buscar" means Search in Spanish. The same problem with Underline. An underlined U is the icon, but the Spanish shortcut is Ctrl+S because the translation of underline is "Subrayar". Ctrl+U opens a new document. The same with Italics, the icon is an I but the shortcut is Ctrl+K. Here is an example of a Microsoft program showing the correct icons: http://www.alu.ua.es/p/pemp/General1.GIF Thanks, Javier ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Icons in OpenOffice.org https://launchpad.net/bugs/69912 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
