I see your point. I guess we should not go there.
Though it would be nice if we had a little more width to click on to select a
row in a table than 1mm. could it be 5-10mm?
I am only glad you feel not obliged to provide the same UI as MSO, I like the
LO UI better than MSO UI. I think the devil is in the detail and it pays to do
these minor improvements, especially with often reoccurring actions like
selecting.</pre>
