Correct the mechanisms for setting the caption of a frame. Note: This appeared in issue 60019, but I am putting it as a separate issue because it is not related to "linked frames". The "Frame" window (i.e., the window that pops up when you double-click on a frame) does not have a tab for setting and formatting the caption of the frame. This can only be done only through the context menu of the frame. Provide a tab in the "Frame" window to set caption. Secondly, the context menu contains "Frame..." command, which should be renamed to "Properties...", which is a standard practice. The user is likely to think that it provides a list of all frames in the current document! Note that such a list COULD be used to link the current frame with another frame; so the user should be excused for overlooking this command while he is looking for the familiar "Properties..." command. Look at it from another angle: The context menu of any object should be about something MORE specific about that object. For example, > A specific property of the object (e.g. "alignment") > All properties of the object (the "Properties..." command) > A specific PART of the object (e.g. "caption") But repeating the object's name in a command does NOT mean "its properties".
Damn! Again mixed up the issues! Splitting the second part as a new issue (defect): Issue 60056 Sorry for the inconvenience!
Reassigned to requirements.
