Description reinouts 2001-10-16 16:47:15 UTC 
There is a glaring usability problem in the Options dialog under OpenOffice.org
| Print. Observe that you can select settings for "Printer" or "Print to File"
by means of radio buttons. So the selected radio button has effect on the part
of the dialog below it! This is a very non-default use of radio buttons, in fact
this is normally the function of tabs. That is not to say that tabs are *the*
solution in this case, I rather believe a total redesign of this preference page
is in order.

Perhaps, in an overzealous attempt to reduce the use of tabs this awful design
was chosen?

In any case, the right use of radio buttons is described in the URL above.

The design has to be changed after SO 6.0.

Reopened.
Comment 4 Oliver Specht 2003-06-19 08:31:46 UTC 
os->cj: You are going to redesign parts of the options dialog, aren't
you? This one should not be forgotten.

Comment 6 bettina.haberer 2003-10-23 09:04:58 UTC

keyfeature for 'Q'.

removing URL- it is not valid any longer.

The summary lacks.. trying to make it more descriptive.
@bh: I doubt that this is worked on currently, so the status "Started" probably
is wrong.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
