| <P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Task ID: 96979</P> |
| <H2 CLASS="western">Today's Situation</H2> |
| <P CLASS="western">StarOffice does not use system controls, dialogs, |
| etc. Due to this floating windows like the Stylist, Navigator and |
| floating toolboxes (toolbars) can not be moved outside the |
| application window of SO/OO today. (please see screen shot below) |
| This was also true for dialogs and application menus in the past (So |
| 5.2).</P> |
| <H2 CLASS="western">Proposed solution</H2> |
| <P CLASS="western">StarOffice / OO will use system windows also for |
| floating windows.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">This solution will also solve some accessibility |
| requirements, because moving and resizing floating windows and |
| toolbars via keyboard is then covered by the systems own |
| mechanism.(Alt+Space shows up the windows menu)</P> |
| <UL> |
| <LI><P CLASS="western">Every application / document has it's own |
| floating windows (content and position)</P> |
| <LI><P CLASS="western">Only floating windows of the current SO/OO |
| document (which owns focus or was the last SO/OO document, loosing |
| focus to another application or window) are visible</P> |
| <LI><P CLASS="western">Every new created document inherits the |
| floating windows and positions (also docked status) given in the |
| current document.</P> |
| <LI><P CLASS="western">The floats positions of the last closed doc |
| will be saved</P> |
| </UL> |
| <P CLASS="western"><B>Optional</B></P> |

| <LI><P CLASS="western">Option to save floating window and their |
| positions with the document?</P> |
