I would like to describe the first bullet point of the "problem list" a bit more in detail, because I think it is the most severe point of the list: It describes a major regression in the new dialog, which is not a design issue, but it is a loss of functionality. In the old dialog it was possible to click into the field where you can enter the conditions, then you could select/pick a cell or cell range with the mouse as value for the condition. This feature is lost in the new dialog. Now I must manually type in e.g. "$Sheet1.$H$17:$H$19", in the old dialog, I could simply "pick" it. Since I cannot install the release candidates here, can anyone please check whether the regression as described in comments 1 still prevails in release candidate 1 or 2? Thanks. I think none has done what gerry told us. Now the new conditional formatting hs been distributed wiht 3.6.0 and - it works as it was reported! And in addition - saving a file distroys the conditional formatting done with 3.5.5. This seems to be a little show-stopper! first diagnosis: 1. i've got my msi via µtorrent chronologically near to the announcement letter 2. after installing the new version (3.6.0.4 Build 932b512) i found the reported misbehavior 3. after reporting (this morning) i've seen that the tracker for this file stopt working. aha!!! 4. fetched the new? torrent und got a msi with the same name as under 1. but with a different file size and the same Build. for this i had to do an in depth analysis of my problem. now my problem looks like that the "between" condition looses the cellreference? try to construct a testcase for this problem For the problem of between condition, see bug 53010 fixed in LO 3.6.1 Best regards. JBF (In reply to comment #5) > For the problem of between condition, see bug 53010 fixed in LO 3.6.1 > > Best regards. JBF thx for quick response br Herbert reproduced in 3.6.3 on RFR 17 64 bit
all parts of initial description are true until now
> It is not possible to select a cell or cell range as value for the condition
IMHO this is most important among described problem and it is regression.
I know that this dialog is unfinished new feature. As I understand, it will not fixed until 3.7.0 because adding button is new feature, not a bug fix.
Per ESC decision there are no regressions in new features/dialogs. Also it is fixed in master and will not be backported. I checked the Release candidate 1 for LibreOffice 4.0 and IMHO the issues described in the report and the comments are solved. I mark this bug as resolved->fixed. While testing, I realised smaller usability issues with the dialogue which fall more in the category of small enhancement requests. I opened two entries for these enhancement requests: Bug 59316 - Conditional formatting: Usability improvements for the cell range picker in new conditional formatting dialog Bug 59317 - Conditional formatting: Usability improvements for condition styles in new conditional formatting dialog @Markus: You did a great job with the new conditional formatting dialog. Thanks! |
