            Bug ID: 143977
           Summary: In “View” menus and "Tabbed" toolbars, be consistent
                    about “hide / show”
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: j.a.swami at gmail.com

Description:
In the “View” menus, we have various items to be viewed or not:

    • Status bar
    • Formatting marks
    • Text boundaries

And so on. 

Tick the box, and the canvas will show the item. Untick it and the canvas hides
it.

But at least two items depart from this convention. We have: 

    • Show Whitespace
    • Show Tracked Changes

To be consistent, these items should simply be:

    • Whitespace
    • Tracked Changes

And to keep the present defaults, “Whitespace” should be ticked by default,
“Tracked changes” unticked.

This change will make the menus more consistent—and easier for the eye to scan. 

The same applies to toolbars. In the “Tabbed” and “Tabbed Compact” user
interfaces, “Show Whitespace” should just be “Whitespace.” 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Where available, click the "View" dropdown menu

or

1. Switch to "Tabbed" or "Tabbed Compact" interface.
2. Click view.
3. See the toolbar.

Actual Results:
Displays:

"Show Whitespace" 

and

 "Show Tracked Changes"

Expected Results:
Display:

"Whitespace"

and

"Tracked Changes"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
