Description blackholesun 2005-02-07 19:11:12 UTC 
This is purely an aesthetic cirtique, but I'd really like to see the menu's
(like Format, Insert, Edit, etc.) become a little tighter. At the moment they
show too much blank space and it's not as "pretty" if you will compared with the
"Other" office suite. At the very least it should be user configurable. I'm not
a developer but a user, and have recieved a few similar comments from other
MSWord users. 'Shrinkage' by an inch or a half inch would do the UI wonders, in
my humble opinion.

In latest builds the width of the menus doesn't seem to be too large.  If you
compare them with other softwares [MS Word / Acrobat Reader for e.g.] what I get
to see is a little bit extra space on the left side.  This could be trimmed off.

SBA->CJ: Please proceed.
Comment 3 christian.jansen 2005-05-20 15:26:23 UTC 
CJ: The first letter of the File menu is alinged with the drag area of the
toolbar located below the menu. This assures that menu and toolbar are
vertically aligned. To the space. Compared to Office 2003 the space between two
menu headings is in OOo approx. 15% less. Taking a look at MSO 2003, Acrobat 7,
Firefox, IE shows that we should increase space.

CJ -> SSA: Could you please have a look at this. Thank you.

Let's finally do something about this. I'll change the menu code so images and
checkmarks come into the same place which images preferred an the "checked"
state emphasized by a transparent rectangle similar to the toolbox buttons.

This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of
OOo. The fixed issue should be integrated in OOo since more than half a year. If
you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen
it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
