Description: There are no "Deletions in margin" and "Insertions in margin" items in some Edit-Track changes submenu After fix bug 34355 we can show the Track changes by three ways: "All changes inline" "Deletions in margin" "Insertions in margin" You can select one variant from these three using small triangle on Show Track changes button on Track changes toolbar But I couldn't find these variants in Edit-Track changes submenu. There is only Show item (I think it is equal default "All changes inline" variant) there. So I suggest add submenu like: Edit - Track changes - Show - All changes inline Deletions in margin Insertions in margin Steps to Reproduce: - Actual Results: There are no "Deletions in margin" and "Insertions in margin" items in some Edit-Track changes submenu Expected Results: There are "Deletions in margin" and "Insertions in margin" items in Edit-Track changes submenu Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 4d9b83a417bbde8148b67d2ab0abe9f4ae285276 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
"Edit > TC > [x] Show" is an easy-to-use and well-known function. And we have to consider the off situation. If we do something like Edit > TC > Show > (o) Off Edit > TC > Show > ( ) Show all inline Edit > TC > Show > ( ) Insertion in margin Edit > TC > Show > ( ) Deletions in margin it adds a lot of confusion for casual users. My take: keep it simple here and let the inline vs. margin thing be something for the advanced users with access per menu button in the toolbar. Btw, having another route per tools > options is also not helping.
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting but didn't receive further input. As commented before adding all options makes the simple on/off switch much more complex. I recommend to not expose the options at the menu and leave it for the toolbar.
