Hi Dotan, Thanks for writing the report. How do you think about the current button 'Close print preview' ? Should its visibility be improved? Regards, Cor @Dotan: Does the feedback from Cor resolve your issue? Steps Done: 1. Open WRITER 2. Go to FILe -> PAGE PREVIEW 3. Go to "Close Preview" at the top below the menu to close the preview (LO 4.2.2.1, Win 8.1) > Does the feedback from Cor resolve your issue?
No, the feedback does not resolve the issue.
Users (that is: multiple users in different departments) that have moved from a popular proprietary office suit to LibreOffice try to close the Print Preview view by clicking the window chrome X, despite having been shown the Close Print Preview button. I suspect that their previous office suite taught them this behaviour, however I have no way to check. In any case, LibreOffice is behaving contrary to user expectations, leading to frustration and another straw on the "LibreOffice-is-hard-to-use" camel's back. We should be working to reduce those straws whenever they are encountered.
