Description hans_werner67 2006-01-12 08:38:20 UTC

Context menu for a misspelled word always shows suggestions how to correct the
word, but does not show any entry of the normal context menu for text (like
formatting).

Recommendation: Allow to switch to the normal context menu or merge both menus.

target 2.x for usability test results with prio 2

Comment 3 matthias.mueller-prove 2006-09-22 11:15:55 UTC

Concept ideas:
  1) add regular context menu to the end of the spellcheck items or
  2) add regular context menu to the end of the spellcheck items as submenu entry.

Comment 4 frank.loehmann 2007-07-23 16:14:13 UTC

This issue is handled by the following spec. (section 1.3):

The new context menu for misspelled words seems to address exactly this
usability issue. Can you confirm this?

Comment 6 carsten.driesner 2007-07-24 09:23:45 UTC

cd: Accepted.

Comment 7 Mathias_Bauer 2007-10-05 09:19:54 UTC

mmp: no, the language control feature does not address that.

Idea: could we move the spell check menu to "CTRL-Click", similar to Smart Tags
and Hyperlink execution? So the normal "right click" would always execute the
context menu. Of course we would need a quick help text as in the mentioned
other cases. And people that switch off contextual help again will complain.

Comment 8 carsten.driesner 2007-11-23 07:35:27 UTC

cd: Feature freeze passed. Set target to OOo 3.x.

Comment 10 lars 2008-05-18 09:28:21 UTC

issue 89594 describes this as "hugely annoying" particularly when testing OOo 
Beta versions and using random character sequences because that's faster and 
wanting to open the standard context menu.

Comment 11 lutz.hoeger 2011-01-14 14:46:32 UTC

One certainly doesn't want to add all pup-up menu commands from Writer to the
pop-up menu for misspelled words. This could blow up the menu to 28 commands
(including up to seven suggestions for correct spelling). 

I want to see the most common commands added: cut, copy & paste. Any other
additional menu item needs to be justified based on usage tracking data.

BTW, I do object against marking an invalid issue as a duplicate of this one.
OOo is a productivity suite, for real work. Though possible, "typing random
chracters for testing purposes" is not a supported use case.

Comment 12 thorsten.ziehm 2011-03-07 15:29:22 UTC

Changed to priority 3. This isn't a stopper for a release.
(Issues with p1/p2 with keyword 'accessibility' and/or 'usability' are one category for stoppers. See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease34#Release_relevant_issues)
