Prior to 5.0, the Print Document Directly tooltip would indicate the printer that would be printed to. This was extremely useful when using a laptop at different locations. The user could tell if they needed to change the default printer before printing. Now, for someone who travels from location to location, the Print Document Directly is not really useful anymore, since the document might go to the local printer or it might be directed to a printer that is not currently accessible.
@Jay: Is this something you can investigate? Thanks.
I see the printer as part of the tooltip in 5.0 daily and master.
Here's some additional information about my configuration. OS: Windows 8.1 CPU: Intel If I mouse over the toolbar button, the tooltip just says "Print Document Directly". But if I right click the button and then mouse over "Visible Buttons" it shows a list of buttons, including "Print Document Directly (A Home)" where "A Home" is the name I've given to my printer. I saw the same behavior yesterday when I was at a different location using a different printer. I tried removing the button from the toolbar and adding it back in, no joy. If you would like for me to try something else to help diagnose the problem, I would be more than happy to oblige.
I just thought of something. Just a wild guess, but what if the tooltip size was set prior to adding in the printer text, so that on the list of buttons everything works fine but on the tooltip the printer text is truncated. The additional piece of the puzzle would be that some operating systems adjust the size of the tooltip based on the size of the text but 8.1 doesn't.
So i see this goes back to 4.4 when the string was changed from 'Print File Directly (printer_name)' to its current 'Print Document Directly'. I believe samuel changed the string, but dont know why it appears one way in the context menu and another way in the tooltip.
Lets CC samuel to give his opinion. Just to clarify, when i said 'Print File Directly (printer_name)', that was the text of the tooltip and not the text found in the xcu file.
I think this is caused by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1fb8724f9834dbc07b741eeed31b31347bc0c2a1 Will have a look at it.
