<pre>With all due respect, I am using LO in an academic setting since v1.0. The
reason I switched from Word were exactly these features. Students and academics
NEED to add captions to tables as they do to images and any other object in a
document:
<a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=scientific+writing+table+captions">https://duckduckgo.com/?q=scientific+writing+table+captions</a>
Citing a few slobby formatted LO manuals (some have captions, some have
not...wha??) does not help at all, they are not academic texts.
Please revert the default as it has been for years: Put back by default an
"insert caption" to the table context menu. It has been there for over a decade
and for good reason.
As to the "space" argument: How about letting users decide in the preferences
whether they want to have simplified menus or fully-featured menus aka basic
users and power users? Academics would not mind long menus as long as they can
do everything they need on the spot and most basic users hardly use captions at
all.
Thanks for listening!</pre>
