Description Albert Acer 2024-06-14 01:07:12 UTC
Description:
When I am using LO Writer 24.2.4, with the Tabbed Interface, I have found that the "Field" (“Campo” in Spanish) Options Menu  is repeated under the "Insert" Tab (“Insertar” in Spanish) and under the "References" Tab (“Referencias” in Spanish), as we can see in the screenshot that I have attached today with this report.

This generates doubts and confusion among us users about the differences in usage under one tab or the other. Also because I believe that there should not be repeated or duplicated elements or components in the interface. This affects the entire LO Writer 24.2.X branch and possibly the future version (24.8) being developed.

I do not know if this duplicate component is reproduced in the versions of LO 24.2.X configured in other languages, but at least in the Spanish version it does happen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer 24.2.4. in Spanish.
2. Activate the Tabbed Interface view (View menu ----> User Interface ----> Tabbed).
3. Observe and compare the items under the Insert (“Insertar” in Spanish) and References (“Referencias” in Spanish) tabs. There we can see that the "Field" (“Campo” in Spanish) Options Menu exists under both tabs, this means, it is repeated in both tabs. For a better visual understanding it is recommended to see the screenshot attached with this report.

Actual Results:
We can see how the "Field" Options Menu appears repeated both in the "Insert" Tab and also under the "References" Tab as we can see in the screenshot attached to this report.

Expected Results:
Remove the "Field" Options Menu from one of the two tabs where it is duplicated (preferably from the "References" Tab), unless it is strictly necessary to keep that set of options always repeated in both positions.
