Description 9point9 2004-09-01 13:00:24 UTC 
Would it be possible to have properties boxes (for formatting etc.) whose 
affects are applied when they are changed without having to exit the box?

The Navigator panel works a bit like this so could a similar system be used 
with property boxes?  Lotus Smartsuite has used this UI feature for years and I 
haven't seen it anywhere else really, makes a big difference to usability.

If you haven't used Smartsuite, you might not quite know what I mean, in which 
case you'd have to ask a Smartsuite user to find out why it's so important.

This enhancement would really have to be applied across the whole of OOo for 
reasons of consistency.

Thanks.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
