Description Steve Fanning (Retired) 2020-08-31 22:29:11 UTC
Description:
When LO 7.0.0.2 is first installed, a Data Streams toolbar can be opened by going to View > Toolbars on Calc’s Menu bar. The options on this toolbar relate to an experimental feature of live data streaming (introduced in LO 4.2). The two icons on the toolbar are initially grayed but become available when the “Enable Experimental features” option is selected on the Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced dialog page.

I think that from a usability perspective, it would be better if the View > Toolbars > Data Streams menu option was grayed when the “Enable Experimental features” option is deselected. It is pointless having the toolbar on the screen, showing two grayed icons. Graying the View > Toolbars > Data Streams option would be consistent with the current graying applied to the Data > Streams button.

Would it be possible for the current behavior to be reviewed by the Design and User Experience team?


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc. Go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced and check that the option "Enable experimental features" is unchecked.
2. Go to View > Toolbars > Data Streams. 
3.

Actual Results:
Calc displays the Data Streams toolbar (docked at the right end of the Standard toolbar). The toolbar contains two grayed icons.

Expected Results:
In my opinion, it would be better if the View > Toolbars > Data Streams option was grayed and this would be consistent with the graying of the Data > Streams menu option.


Reproducible: Always

Maybe related: When you disable experimental features, "Enable very large spreadsheets (16m rows, 16384 cols)" remains enabled (menu Tool - Options - LibreOffice Calc - Defaults).

Dear Steve Fanning,

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
