Description aschrage 2002-05-28 16:07:39 UTC
Throughout the OOo applications you have toolbar buttons that a marked with a
small green triangle. That tells the user that when you click on the button and
hold down the mouse button several new options will be presented. That's good.
I think it would be even better that the tooltip would show the current setting
of the button. For example the 'New' button to create a new document. When the
tooltip shows up it could say 'New - Text document' or 'New - Table document'
instead of only 'New'. I know that the button picture itself changes accordingly
to the function, but a tooltip would make it more clear. Especially when you
consider all the other buttons with a green triangle.

In my opinion this issue is still valid for the actual version 2.4 and should be
considered in a future version of OOo.
PS: In OOo 2.4 it is not a green triangle anymore, but an arrow at right side of
the button.

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