--- Comment #50 from John Mills <jmills59 at yahoo.com> ---
Hello all,

So I installed the the latest 7.1 alpha last night to provide feedback on this
ticket for my experiences as I saw there were a few 'snagging points'
highlighted.

My experience is the same as Stuart's of this dialogue not appearing and the
tip of the day starting from number 2.

I came back to this ticket to look if others have had the same issue and I can
see that Stuart had raised an issue for this point Bug#137427.   

I am copying the dialogue from that ticket to here as it is relevant:

Information from Bug Bug 137427 - UI Picker is not showing by default on first
launch of each module

So if I understand this correctly @Heiko you have now decided that you will not
show an initial dialogue.

"I will not force showing the UI picker initially. The TotD is a compromise and
>if users don't take the advice it's pretty easy to do later (View > UI...).
>Point is that any initial "configure me", "start here", "do that" is odd. My
>(personal) take => WF."

This is completely disingenuous, you have marked this bug report as resolved,it
clearly is not. If it is possible now please change this to Wont fix. As
clearly you believe that providing this initial dialogue is 'odd' and your
(personal) take is => WF.

This goes against everything that has been said in this report for the last
months. Finally I thought that there was some understanding of the importance
of highlighting the fantastic work done in this field and providing LibreOffice
users with a real choice. 

Even Stuart realised that this functionality is a blocker for closing this bug
report:

'I am of course fine with not forcing it either. Just filed the BZ as it was an
agreed facet of the resolved fixed bug 117463  -- Stuart' 

Clearly as was an agreed facet to resolve this bug and you have now decided
that it will not happen the bug by definition is not resolved. Again I suggest
if you can then please do the correct thing and change to 'Wont Fix' so that
those people who understand the importance of this bug report can move on as I
genuinely believed that you had the interests of your user in mind.

Kind regards,

John
