Description Björn Michaelsen 2012-03-19 15:41:40 UTC
1) What is done:

When you open:

 http://extensions.libreoffice.org/

clicking on "templates" in the "home - extensions - templates"-tab navigation

2) What is expected to happen:

http://templates.libreoffice.org/template-center

The "templates"-tab is highlighted and I can directly navigate to templates below.

3) What happens instead:

http://templates.libreoffice.org/

"home" is highlighted on a very similar page -- to get to the template, it seems like a broken link as it is almost the same page. Also "templates" and "extensions" sneakily exchanged their positions.

Clicking on the (now moved) "templates" to actually get there _again_ is rather non-obvious and actually feel like mischief.

The same bug can be observed vice versa from templates to extensions. Note that to endusers "extensions" and "templates" are not that different really.

As a nitpick: The header picture for the extensions and templates should have the same height -- otherwise the transition from one to the other appears broken.

High/Trivial as getting the links right shouldnt be too hard.

This has been fixed on the sites.

This is really another bug submission. I will re-submit this as another bug. -- Marc
