[sidebar] issue 122065 needs UX input

Hi,

I had a look at issue 122065 [1], submitted regarding the behavior of 
edit controls in the sidebar panel.
It describes a more general problem of edit controls in OpenOffice - 
already observable in the existing UI.

For a general improved UI behavior of the edit controls in the sidebar 
panel one of the UX experts should have a look.
Please, can someone from UX take action on this issue.

Best regards, Oliver.

Sorry for the late feedback.
Thanks for your input.

As far as I can see the spin box control do not have an implementation
for an Undo stack. Currently, it remembers the value before the first
editing took place and on Undo this value is restored. There are no
intermediate steps possible, now - if my knowledge about this control is
correct.

Thus, if we really want to have such an Undo stack in our spin box
controls we should focus on it for one of our next releases.

Best regards, Oliver.

Hi,

I would like to share my thought on these two issues :

122065:For user, control Z means undo last action. If he click the up arrow
of the spinner control 4 times:0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08. The result of his
mental model by clicking Control Z should be 0.06,0.04,0.02,0.00. Just back
to last status.
If the focus move to other controls, Control Z should not work. But if the
focus move to editor working space, Control Z should work.

122062:  It‘s ok that put the unit in spin box. User can easily change the
unit they want.

Thanks.
