(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #9)

It was a way of reiterating (partial) disagreement. In comment #6 I argued that
the label should mention Writer UNTIL all modules are made to behave similarly.
I know your time is very limited, but if one of us says we should do A for this
reason and the other B for that reason without engaging with each other's
argument, I'm afraid we'll soon end up talking past each other.

When I filed this report I did not know whether this option was meant to apply
to a) Writer only or b) all modules. The response to a) would be to change the
label; the response to b) would be to extend the option to all modules.

You wrote in comment #5 that b) is true. The summary of this report has been
changed and is now about renaming, close to what would have been the response
to a), but - taking your comment into account - not quite. Should it not be
about renaming AND THEN about extending the option to the other modules?

Renaming without mentioning Writer (as you wrote in comment #5) would be fine,
IF the extension of the option to all modules were to be done soon afterwards.
This does not seem likely, however. In the meantime, how are users supposed to
find out that the option does not work in other modules? Well, they could test
it, as I did. Do you really expect that?

Again, I know time is limited. I understand that any change to labels must be
translated into many languages, so the effort is multiplied. But I believe that
labeling that reflects what the software does is best for the users. When the
software changes, the labels can change with it.
