Description bmarcelly 2005-03-06 19:31:36 UTC

When you customize the Standard toolbar you will find these labels :
  Can't Undo
  Can't Restore

You will find them again if you are searching for a command in the Edit category.
These commands should simply be labelled :
  Undo
  restore

->Liz: please have a look.

Comment 2 e.matthis 2005-05-20 15:30:34 UTC

I think this is due to the fact that icon labels, the names in the customize
dialog and the menu commands all are only one resource string used 3 times. Need
to research why the "can't" form of the menu command is used.

Comment 3 e.matthis 2005-07-13 14:32:22 UTC

liz->CD: Are the positive labels "undo" and "restore" also available in the
central xml file? (they must be because they are on the menu)

 If so please exchange them for these negative labels, so that only the positive
ones appear in the customize dialog. If not, please fix this so that they are.
Thanks!

cd->liz: re the positive labels "undo" and "restore" also available in the
central xml file? No, there are not available in the central xml file. The
labels are dynamically set by the applications, whenever the undo/redo stack
changes. That's why you can see undo/redo in the menu after you have completed
the first undoable operation.

Confirmed with OOo 2.0.3rc6 (en-GB).
The text for these toolbar items isn't affected by whether it is possible to
undo / redo, it always appears as: "Can't Restore" / "Can't Undo".

Regards,
Andrew

@CD/AMA: could we try to fix this for 3.2 in CWS swundo4 ("UI + Undo"-CWS)?

Comment 11 meywer 2009-09-10 21:14:16 UTC

Please add "can't" to the summary (for searching reasons).

I think, also if redo/undo at a moment is impossible, the entry in menu edit,
the over-button-popup and the entries in tool-customise-menus/keyboard/toolbars
should always be undo. Everybody will understand, that in an unchaned document
undo id impossible. I don't understand the always negative entries.
