Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8550
child window (diqlog) behavior should be better
Last modified: 2003-10-15 10:01:13 UTC
I think OO should follow the applix way on child window function. In applix, I can open a window as character in OO and leave there, open other window, but if I open an other character properties dialog in the 2nd document, the dialog is the same. I prefer this behavior then the one in OO that opens as many character property dialogs as many documents are open. Maybe the first behavior could help OO to become more fast, because it terribly slow (MS word oepns five times faster, unfortunatelly) on celeron500 with 196 Mb of ram. The dialgos should be more independent. If I open character dialog, I cant open an other document while I close the dialog By the way, congratulation the put the dialogs out of the main window, but an apply button would be better...
under xfree 4.1, if focus follow mouse option is set and I choose a dialog in menu and drag the dialog outside of main window, I could not click on, because I loose focus on the desktop. For that reason, i propose to use common dialogs in all application, that are no linked to the main window. For exemple, if i choose paragraph, a separat window should be open with the dialog and if I choose an other documents, the common dialog should be open on the desktop, but with the setting of this other document (as in applix).
TM->FT: A wish for an enhancement, could you please have a look. Thanks !
Set to "NEW"
No, we will not follow the Applix way but the standard MDI way.
