<pre>I have noticed user-interface changes for the worse. They concern the menus
that show after you right-click a numbered paragraph. I'm guessing that these
menus have been rearranged to accommodate more list-paragraph options —
probably for those writers who don't use styles. A good idea but IMHO the new
arrangement is clumsy.
There are three oddities:
(I) It's now harder to set a paragraph to either restart numbering from one
or to set numbering to continue from a previous paragraph.
With LibreOffice 6.0.7 Writer, if you wanted to adjust paragraph numbering, you
right-clicked anywhere in the paragraph and then clicked either 'Restart
Numbering' or 'Continue previous numbering'.
With LibreOffice 6.3.0-rc2-1, to do the same thing, you have to:
1. Right-click anywhere in the paragraph.
2. Select 'Bullets and Numbering'.
3. Click either 'Restart Numbering' or 'Continue previous numbering'.
That Step 2 is not cool.
(II) With LibreOffice 6.3.0-rc2-1, a tick shows next to 'Restart Numbering'
for paragraphs that have been set for continuous numbering. Why? Previously, an
empty square showed inviting a mouse-click if a change was wanted.
(III) Before, if you right-clicked and selected 'Bullets and Numbering' you
were taken to a page where you could select and position a symbol, number or
graphic. Now, you have to select 'Bullets and Numbering' and then select
'Bullets and Numbering' again.
If it were up to me, on a numbered paragraph, after the first right-click, a
drop-down menu would offer the following:
Paste
Paste special
Clone formatting
Clear direct formatting
Character
Paragraph
□ Restart numbering
□ Continue previous numbering
□ Numbering off
Numbering position, symbol or number...
Demote one level
Page...
A tick would replace the □, depending on the status of the numbered paragraph.
The 'Numbering position, symbol or number...' label would replace the current
'Bullets and Numbering' label.
I write a lot of procedures that use numbered lists. I implement them with
styles. Right-clicking a numbered paragraph is something I often have to do. As
things now stand, this part of the user interface has become inconvenient.</pre>
