             Bug #: 52605
           Summary: Writer UI: Make AutoText dialog modeless
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.4 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: gerry.treppel at googlemail.com


The AutoText dialog (Edit-> AutoText) has quite some usability problems. 

A particular problem is that the AutoText dialog is modal. This has the
negative effect that the user needs to first mark the part in the text which
should become an AutoText and then start up the dialog. When the dialog is open
it is neither possible to change the text selection nor to add more than one
AutoText. Currently, it is always required to close the dialog before one can
e.g. add another AutoText.

Solution: If the AutoText dialog would be modeless, this would greatly enhance
usability.

LibreOffice 3.5.4 PPA, Ubuntu 11.10.
