Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 128293
Small contribution to logic - AOO Writer and Impress
Last modified: 2020-02-18 10:09:50 UTC
Just two examples: A. AOO Writer 1. Open new document 2. type some text - 2 lines suffice. 3. Select them 4. Table > Convert > Text to Table, button "Autoformat" Focus now your attention on button "More" with double arrows pointing down. 5. Press it - window becames larger. Look at button, double arrow down has changed into double arrow up, but the word "More" has not changed and logic tells that it should - into "Less". Like in pair of antonyms: "expand" and "shrink". B. AOO Impress 1. Open new presentation (button "Create") 2. Format > Slide Design, press button "Load" You will notice button "More" similiar to that in point A. And as in point A. pressing that button does not change duly its content: label AND arrows. Issue is trivial but needs to be addressed. Hopefully somebody more experienced in AOO than me will NOT find more examples defying logic of common user. There is also bug in case of AOO Impress: First time you open window "Load Slide Desing" you will see it in "shrinked state". If press button "More", than close window ("Cancel", Esc or Red (X)) and reopen it you will see it in "expanded" state. That per se could be OK, but only underlines wrong labelling of button.

Sound logic illustrates for example dialog "Find & Replace" In AOO Writer: choose Edit > Find & Replace OR Ctrl+F Pressing button "More Options" will change label to "Fewer Options" and vice versa (see attached image)

Confirmed on and Windows.
Fix committed to trunk: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/b56fb6444b0dfe965e06d9a6ed3ee7624ed87074 and Cherry-Picked for AOO42X.
Thanks for finding this! Fortunately it was easy to fix. Changes will become visible in en-US immediately. All other languages need a complete "translation cycle"

All other languages need a > complete "translation cycle" You're welcome. But remember in context of this bug that as a user I always desire MORE and don't want to be toggled between MORE and LESS :‑)
