Created attachment 52567 [details] PrintPreview1 with zoom buttons and scaling factor widget circled In the attached "PrintPreview1", I claim that the "scaling factor" slider widget (circle (1)) is not visually clear as to it's purpose. I originally clicked on the buttons expecting the behavior one gets when clicking the +/- buttons in circle (2). When I did not get the desired visual appeal, I thought again that maybe I was messing with the margins. It finally dawned on me what it was doing (see "PrintPreview2", but it took me more than a few seconds to kick myself from my preconceived notions. I submit that this could/should be made more visually explicit before 3.5. Unfortunately, I'm not a UI guy or I'd offer a suggestion. This may apply to other LO components as well, but I was using Calc when I noted it. This screenshots were made with master.

Not a particular Master problem, I also see it with LibO 3.3.3 Portable. Behavior is inherited from OOo, I also see it with OOo 3.1.1 No idea for what that is needed - we have a zoom slider in the status bar - no help available (see Bug 42081 - LOCALHELP for CALC Page Preview Bar incomplete) I can't find out any purpose for what that slider might be useful. @David: Please add findings to Help (also see "Bug 42081 - LOCALHELP for CALC Page Preview Bar incomplete"). @Kohei: Please feel free to reassign (or reset Assignee to default) if it’s not your area or if provided information is not sufficient. Please set Status to ASSIGNED if you accept this Bug.
Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.

Confirmed it's still the same in Calc. Giving to the design team. Win 7 Pro 64-bit, LibO Version: 4.4.1.2 Build ID: 45e2de17089c24a1fa810c8f975a7171ba4cd432 Locale: fi_FI Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit Version: 4.4.1.2 Build ID: 40m0(Build:2) Locale: en_US

Zoom (2) works similar to ctrl+wheel or the statusbar slider - it zooms into the document. The slider (1) scales the content, meaning you get more columns on one page with "-" or enlarge the font with "+". The interaction has a clear feedback but the UI is missing a label "Scale" before the slider. The usability would also benefit from showing the actual scaling factor and when +/- steps become more discrete. Sounds like an easyhack.
The scale slider is handled in sc/source/ui/cctrl/tbzoomsliderctrl.cxx with a constant nSliderXOffset to both left and right that should be changed into an asymmetric offset to allow the output of 'Scale' before the slider, and perhaps also the current value right of it.
Hi!I would like to work on this bug. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > The interaction has a clear feedback but the UI is missing a label "Scale" > before the slider.

(In reply to Kshitij from comment #9) > As I understand,I need to create label before slider and its actual value on > right side in previewbar . Exactly, there should be a translatable caption with the slider. I would also like to have the actual value on the other side. And when you touch the code and find an option to increase the steps when the user clicks on + or - that would be great. Sounds like we ideally go with a standard control, if there is one. But having just a caption on the left side is fine at the moment.
I have submitted the patch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/49204/ with both caption and actual valuein right.@Heiko can you please review that :)
