[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2019-DEC-12

[paul hofseth]

Sirs,

please do not waste scarce coding resources on thoroughly trivial 
matters like colours and signage, but rather on making the programs more 
practical to use -  such as for instance having the choice of typeface 
as a sdeparate item, not hidden inside the multiple format choices. 
Risking ostracism fro monotounous suggestions, I repeat my wish for 
sequential views of single pages with as little jumbling as possible of 
text and illsustrations when proofreading long documents

yours
