             Bug #: 52073
           Summary: Calc UI: Issues with conditional formatting dialogs in
                    LO 3.6.0 Beta3
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice

The new dialog for conditional formatting in LibreOffice Calc 3.6 Beta3 has
some issues:

How to reproduce:
* Type in first cell 1, second cell 2 and third cell 3.
* Mark these cells
* Got to "Format"->"Conditional Formatting"->"Conditional Formatting"
* See description of problems below:

* It is not possible to select a cell or cell range as value for the condition.
This was possible in the old dialog and it is an absolute MUST for the new
dialog.
* The new name of the menu entry "Format"->"Conditional
Formatting"->"Conditional Formatting" does not make much sense. Why
"Conditional Formatting" nested in a sub-menu of "Conditional Formatting"? The
second dialog should be rather called "Add conditions".
* Why does the first dialog start empty when every user wants to define at
least one condition when opening this dialog?. When opening the dialog for the
first time, there should be at least a first condition already visible.
* There is no button anymore for "New Style", but it is rather buried in the
list of styles. This is IMHO counter-intuitive. It would be better to have a
separate button.
* What is the rationale behind the decision to have two dialogs for
conditional formatting (the first dialog is the one showing up when clicking on
"Conditional formating" and the second dialog when clicking on "Add") and
another third dialog for "manage" the conditions? Particularly the first dialog
of "Conditional formatting" and the dialog of "Manage" seems to cover the same
functionality. Why is it like that? It seems to be inconsistent.

Problems with the German translation:
* The German translations for "Cancel" and "OK" have typos: "~Abbrechen" and
"~OK". Same problem is in the first and the second dialog.
* The German translation "Apply Style" is wrong. It is "Bestätige Vorlage" (and
in fact is not fully readible), but should be "Vorlage zuweisen".


System: Ubuntu 11.10, 64-bit, german local, LibreOffice Version 3.6.0.0.beta3
(Build ID: f010139) installed from the DEB (including German language pack).
