            Bug ID: 129200
           Summary: UI: Page sidebar: "Same Content" on header/footer
                    sections is absolutely illogical
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval, topicUI
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

Page sidebar in Writer has "Same Content" dropdown, with the following
elements: "All Pages"; "First Page"; "Left and Right Pages"; "First, Left and
Right Pages".

These are expected to mean that e.g. "First Page" is first page is *different*.
But how could one possibly read "Same Content: First Page" as "Different
content on first page"?! Or how could one read "Same Content: First, Left and
Right Pages", and see the difference with "Same Content: All" - and again,
understand that the former means "different content on the listed categories"?

The wording of the control needs to be changed.
Simple proposal: change "Same Content" to "Different Content", and "All" to
"None". But possibly better not try to over-simplify the UI (that dreaded "by
all means, try to squeeze everything into one line!!!") and just make a
checkbox group with possibility to choose what has own content.
