Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87466
Opening Drop Down Menus, whilst Customize table is Open
Last modified: 2014-01-07 13:59:46 UTC
Currently, when the Customize table, accessed via Tools>Customize..., is being used, the user is unable to click on the drop down menus (File, Edit, View, etc) to see how the changes they are making look. To access the menus the table must be closed, and then reopened if more changes are required. I would like to submit that the drop down menus be able to be accessed, if only for viewing even, so a user can see how the changes being made look and feel. When I try customizing my menus I find it involves a great deal of opening and closing of this table in order to see how my changes actually look, and if they are where I want them. This has the effect of putting me off customizing the menus for anything more than one or two changes at most. Consequently I have a lot of entries in my menus I never use, and maybe some which could be added or moved around, even to new menus, but which I feel is not worth the trouble involved.
Unlike toolbars, menus are not visible during customization. AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1555399 2014-01-06_04:13:46 - Rev. 1555657 Debian
