Description Dieter.Loeschky 2003-09-30 09:09:38 UTC
Product Requirement:
Provide a more complete coverage of undo-able actions and more specific action
descriptions

Customer Need/Problem:
Not all actions are undoable, so undo appears broken sometimes.

Product Concept
Undo / Redo have to be enhanced in:  

Calc: Auto Filters  

Impress: Slide layout  

Writer: Updating of indices Example: Insert table of content, then change a
header, then update table of content deletes the undo stack.  

Writer / Impress / Calc:  StyleSheets (esp. Page StyleSheets in Writer): 

Examples: 
a) changing the page border with the mouse 

b) changing background color of pages or paragraph styles 

c) adding a header/footer Changes to styles are generally not undoable. If they
involve switching headers/footers on/off, the undo stack is deleted as well. 

d)Some descriptions of the undo/redo items should be redefined by User Experience.

e) Changes of field formats, e.g. altering the format of a date field
or changing a sender field to display the first name instead of the
last name, will also be made undoable.

Hi Dieter,

as I see the situation, more or less _all_ "undo-improvement" should
be handeled in this issue. If I will not see any objections, I will
check several other issues and make them (if not STARTED) DUP of this
one (on Sunday), if noone other did it.

Actual UNCONFIRMED issues concerning "undo":
issue 8347, issue 11268, issue 11598 , issue 13175, issue 13390, 
issue 15579 ,  15587   

Actual NEW issues concerning "undo":
issue 7368, issue 8009, issue 13224, issue 15641, issue 15652, 17157
18792  19101  19574  

Actual STARTED issues concerning "undo":
issue 7983 issue 9704, issue 17043, issue 17323, 18014
 
Other status:
issue 8778, issue 10190, issue 7884   10339  11162

As I see the situation, more or less _all_ "undo-improvement" should
be handeled in this issue (or /child- issues). Will you please check
which of the following should be made DUP of this issue?

Actual UNCONFIRMED issues concerning "undo":
issue 8347, issue 11268, issue 11598 , issue 13175, issue 13390, 
issue 15579 ,  15587   21187 	 21338   

Actual NEW issues concerning "undo":

Comment 10 norbert2 2004-05-06 14:00:33 UTC
In writer, changing font-styles of paragraphs via the stylist also cannot be 
undone.
Comment 11 norbert2 2004-05-08 12:53:46 UTC
Please also have a look at issue 28428.
There is described the problem, that editing of some object types cannot be
undone and redone by the application buttons, only via the insert menu ...
Comment 12 norbert2 2004-05-10 06:54:05 UTC
Changing document properties like the title and so on also cannot be undone.
This is described in issue 26894.
Comment 13 norbert2 2004-05-10 11:52:17 UTC
Please also note that ALL objects and text that are restored by undo should NOT 
be selected!

Because there already are such inconsistencies I have described the issues:
issue 28760
issue 28371
issue 27531

Please avoid this bug when implementing more undo-able actions!
Comment 14 norbert2 2004-05-16 10:16:58 UTC
autofilters in calc cannot be undone.

that's described in issue 26694.
Comment 15 Dieter.Loeschky 2004-11-24 07:05:35 UTC
DL: Intention of this task was to have a root task for all other child tasks.
Since there is no implementation behind this task and root/child taskshandling
was not fully introduced in the OO.o 2.0 timeframe I will close this task.
