Dialog sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/editfielddialog.ui Has help button on the far right. Should be on the far left, per standards adopted in all dialogs. Arrow buttons should be placed elsewhere. Please advise.
Absolutely, and the paging control has no label (with buddy relation for a11y). So it has to be "[Help] <---Space---> Field 1 of 2: [Back][Next] [Edit][Ok][Cancel]" (with Ok, Cancel sequence depending on the OS). Paging controls should be centered vertically. Btw, no idea how to show Edit.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > Btw, no idea how to show Edit. It was hard for me too... :-) : Select a field coming from the the User Data (Tools -> Options - LO - User Data), where the field is empty (e.g. Zip code). Then the Edit button is active to open the User data dialog in a single window.
(In reply to Olivier Hallot from comment #2) > It was hard for me too... :-) Got it. Temporarily not relevant controls must not be hidden but disabled.
Created attachment 140179 [details] Screenshot of the new layout Help anchored to the left, Ok/Cancel to the right; Next/Prev and Edit got an extra line and Edit is disabled instead of hidden. Tooltips added as the function is far from being clear. Patch is here https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/50438/, comments and reviews welcome. A11y is still terrible and should be solved in another patch.
