1. Tools - Customize - Menus tab 2. Search: symbol Result: Two Symbol commands are found one is: uno:CharmapControl (could not see any effect) the other: uno:InsertSymbol (opens the Special Character dialog box) maybe uno:CharmapControl can be removed?
.uno:CharmapControl is used for the toolbar dropdown control (can be found on the Standard toolbar), and is not designed to work from a menu. So what we want here is to not show such commands in the list of available commands of the Menus tab. This is already tracked in Bug 112620. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 112620 ***
Thanks for explanation. Also makes me believe that there might be some hope to make differential commands between menus and toolbars (bug 130405), which is how I encountered the symbol case.
