1.1 Investigate Tools/Options layout</H3>
<P>The left navigation pane of the tools/options dialog is too narrow
to display all topics for all languages properly. CJ is going to look
for a better width value.</P>
<H3 CLASS="western"><A NAME="ai12"></A>1.2 Collect occurrences of &quot;do
not show this again&quot; dialogs</H3>
<P>We (nearly) all collected the occurrences of &quot;do not show
this again&quot; dialogs. Now Frank will make a summary of it and
will publish this collection to <SPAN LANG="en-US">OpenOffice.org.</SPAN></P>
<H3 CLASS="western"><A NAME="ai13"></A>1.3 Look for guidelines
regarding &quot;do not show this again&quot; dialogs</H3>
<P>According to the KDE guidelines, a button &quot;Show all messages
again&quot; should be used in the options panel.</P>
<P><A HREF="http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/dialogs/simple.html">http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/dialogs/simple.html</A></P>
<P>However, this does not apply to StarOffice 6.x</P>
<H1 CLASS="western"><A NAME="Roundtable"></A>2 Roundtable</H1>
<H3 CLASS="western">2.1 Jump to Text Cursor Position</H3>
<P>CJ and FL are analyzing the current behavior when and how SO/OO.o
scrolls the view to the cursor position. Sometimes this causes an<SPAN LANG="en-US">
annoying </SPAN>effect, e.g. on saving a document the window scrolls
back to the text cursor.</P>
<H3 CLASS="western"><A NAME="r22"></A>2.2 Save Cursor Position in
Writer Document</H3>
<P>Some user like that SO/OO.o Writer opens documents at the
<SPAN LANG="en-US">position</SPAN>, where the document was last
saved. Some other users dislike this feature. Esp. on distributing
SO/<SPAN LANG="en-US">OO.o</SPAN> documents to other users this is an
unintended quality.</P>
<P>Action Item for CJ: Summarize the pros and cons and propose an UI
spec for this topic.
</P>
<UL>
<LI><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">Read-only documents should always
open in the default position
</P>
<LI><P>Cursor position can/should be stored in the history. This
makes the state relative to each SO/<SPAN LANG="en-US">OO.o</SPAN>
user.
</P>
</UL>
<H3 CLASS="western">2.3 Last Document Close Behavior</H3>
<P>MMP is working on a new definition for the behavior &quot;What
should happen if the user closed the last document in SO/OO.o?&quot;
Proposal will be posted to <SPAN LANG="en-US">OO.o</SPAN>' Web site,
soon.</P>
<H3 CLASS="western">2.4 oeone</H3>
<P>CJ suggests to take a look at <A HREF="http://www.oeone.com/">http://www.oeone.com/</A></P>
<P>They have done a desktop with Linux/Mozilla/XUL technology.</P>
