Description Heiko Tietze 2017-04-25 14:49:55 UTC
One premise of the contextual sections is to label all functions. In particular the various color settings needs a clear identification beyond the icon. Right now the font color, background color (both in Writer and Calc), and background color (Writer only). In Calc it affects also Border related function (cf. bug 107419).

In the original proposal [1] the buttons got a new design with labels, but if that's not possible without much effort the buttons could also be removed from the Notebookbar in favor of access via the sidebar.
Comment 1 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-04-25 16:33:25 UTC
Yes labels are now possible for these buttons by using sfxlo-NotebookbarToolBox rather than sfxlo-SidebarToolBox for the toolbar parent and setting the toolbar style to 'text beside icons'.

With the sidebar being open by default in heikobar (bug 107423), i'd suggest removing them to give space to more important commands in insert (writer) and spreadsheet (calc). I'd suggest also removing the border related buttons from spreadsheet (calc) as well.

There is however a problem with the color button, as reported in Bug 106642.

(It should work with sfxlo-SidebarToolBox too, it just that sfxlo-SidebarToolBox shouldn't be used for the Notebookbar, because it might pick the wrong icon size, depending on the setting in Tools > Options...)

Dear Heiko Tietze,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
