Description jan d 2025-11-19 18:51:42 UTC
Description:
The resolve control for comments in the sidebar is an unlabled checkmark. Checkmarks should be labeled so their function is known. The control should either be labeled or replaced by a toggle button with an icon (i.e. a button that has a on/off state like the ones of making text bold/italic/underlined)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the sidebar (Ctrl+F5)
2. Open Comment sidebar 
3. Create a comment

Actual Results:
Every comment has a unlabled checkbox that reveals the tooltip text "resolve"

Expected Results:
A labeled checkmark or a toggle button


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I tested this on windows, it is likely to also affect other operating systems.

I confirm currnet behaviour, but I'm not sure about expected behaviour.

Mohit, perhaps you can also have a look at this bug report. Thank you.

Tested on Windows 11 using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 (Skia/Vulkan) && LibreOfficeDev 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (Skia/Vulkan enabled).

In these builds, the Resolve control is not present in the comment sidebar at all. Only the down arrow drop-down menu button appears.

I cannot confirm whether it is missing a label. Commenting for triaging purposes.
