Description Kuba Orlik 2024-01-30 16:07:59 UTC
Description:
When using the Tabbed UI, certain options are not available through the GUI. I have to switch back to the classic UI in order to reach them, which makes for quite painful UX.

I stumbled on this issue when using this extension: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/code-highlighter

The extension makes its functionality accessible through the Format menu in the classic interface, but the option is gone from the Format menu in the Tabbed interface. 

I think it would be good to show in the Tabbed version of the Format menu (the one on the top right, with a down-arrow next to it) all options that are in the Standard Toolbar "Format" menu, but do not have a Tabbed UI button corresponding to them

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Format menu in Standard Toolbar and see the available options
2. Switch to Tabbed UI and see the available options in the Format dropdown

Actual Results:
Some of the options are missing

Expected Results:
All of the options should be available


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

This is expected. The "standard" menubar is directly available in the MUFFIN Notebook bar UIs including the Tabbed UI.  First button icon at left of the top row holding the tabs.

Once exposed the menubar will continue to show.

The Notebook bars are a loose assemblage of UNO controls with some framework wrapping their behavior.

Extension authors are responsible for adding the Notebook bar support.

IMHO => NAB and not worth dev effort to implement

In essence, this is a duplicate of bug 101704, and as Stuart said, it is the responsibility of the extension developer to take into account the tabbed interface.
Automatically getting a toolbar's buttons into the "corresponding" tab does not work because there is no 1-to-1 match between tabs and toolbars.
