TESTING with LO 4.4.0.2 + Ubuntu 14.04 (In reply to Andy from comment #0) > Here we go: > > Open a writer doc, insert any image. In the context menu, choose "insert > caption" It's just "Caption" for me in 4.4.0.2. > The "category" list allows to add a repeating word automatically, like > "table" etc.; there is also the item <none> which is needed when you want to > create a caption with no repeating word or numbering. > > The problem n. 1 is, if you choose the latter option, the "OK" button is > deactivated and you actually cannot insert the caption without a repeating > starting word. CONFIRMED Status -> NEW Hardware -> (generalize) > > Problem n.2 is as follows: in the dialog window, open the category list and > choose "none": the OK button is greyed out. Then reopen the list and choose > any other category. After this, if you try to choose "none" again, this is > impossible, and the category reverts to the last one right after you try and > fail to select none with the mouse. CONFIRMED as well > > Problem n.3 is that even if it would be possible to actually select <none> > in the category list, there is no "none" item in the "numbering" list, so it > appears that avoinding a numbering would be impossible all the same > CONFIRMED as well > I know that the rule is "one problem, one bug report", but here the issues > are so closely related that filing 3 distinct reports seemed inappropriate. > > Workaround: you can leave the default category, insert the caption with the > unwanted word at the beginning, and then manually delete the word and the > numbering in each caption for each picture if you do not want them.

Yep -- sounds like a reasonable concern. Handing this the UX folks for their input on what types of captioning should be available. Component -> ux-advise |
