Nevertheless, here are a few clarifications: - According to my proposal, a frame is drawn around a table if the user is editing the table. This would be as helpful in Writer as it is in Calc. - Doing anything with the table just only because the cursor is hovering over it does not seem a good idea to me; this might indeed be annoying to the user. - The point is not to give the user feedback on the state that Writer is currently in. The point is to render table management clear and simple. In my proposal, I had counted numbers of mouse clicks and keys pressed. None of the alternate proposals that have been mentioned fare better on this count. - My proposal is not restricted to operations of Copy/Cut/Paste (incl. Shift). It offers unified management of a whole set of further table operations. Moreover, is uniformity across different applications in LO not a virtue? - Is it an essential aspect of LO policy that it should imitate MS Word? Particularly in questions of table management, this would seem a bad idea to me. (There are, to be sure, features in which Word does fare better.) - When you write "The proposal doesn't consider a selection within the table (e.g. A2:B3)", you are not referring to my proposal, are you? Its entire section 2 is devoted to this problem. Cheers, Christian</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
