[Libreoffice-ux-advise] FDO 47164 (increase backing window recent doc hot spot) Advice

Hi All,

I've handled FDO 47164 but need input to see if we'll actually implement. 

Summary: User thinks that recent documents arrow hot spot is too small on our backing window

Solution: I moved the horizontal bar to the left a bit and increased the arrow size quite a bit.

Here is a before: 


and After:



I'm not sure if we want to implement this at all, and if so if I went too big. Advice welcome, I'll either close the bug as WONTFIX or submit a patch as soon as we get some feedback.


Joel

Hi Joel,
I tried opening the links but Google tells me that the pages do not
exist. Is it maybe a private album...?

Cheers,
Philipp

Hi,

I recommend not to spread such discussions to all LibO community. We
have Bugzilla for that, my request to all is to leave relevant comments
in the Bug report (as I did).

Best regards

Rainer

Hi Joel,


I think you've made the area behind the separator a bit large now –
having it slightly larger than in 3.5 definitely is a good idea, though.

But: I don't think the width of the area is the only or even the most
important problem – the problem seems to be the clickable area. I've
attached a screenshot of the approximate clickable areas of the button:
the red area are brings up the regular file chooser, the blue area
brings up the list of last opened files.
As you can see, the blue area actually covers only a small part of the
right side of the button which is quite easy to miss. Can you look into
that (if you haven't already – I didn't try your patch)?

Astron.

        That's a nice visualisation - thanks !

        I wonder if vcl/source/control/button.cxx's random numbers:

            // calc Symbol- and Textrect
            long nSymbolSize    = pDev->GetTextHeight() / 2 + 1;
            aInRect.Right()    -= 5;
            aInRect.Left()      = aInRect.Right() - nSymbolSize;
            aSize.Width()      -= ( 5 + nSymbolSize );

        Have anything to do with that; the 'aInRect' calculations seem just a
bit crazy (but I didn't dig too far, and perhaps we don't take that code
path ;-)

        Thanks !

                Michael.
