Description ed2 2005-01-02 00:34:59 UTC 
By convention, three dots after a menu item mean that that menu item invokes a
dialog box.

If Insert>Cells is selected while a row or column is selected, then the command
automatically inserts a new row or column respectively before the highlighted
one, without invoking a dialog. Since in this case, the Insert>Cells command
does not invoke a dialog, it should not have the three dots after it, which it
has in the current version.

Hi,

not a defect but an enhancement.

Comment 3 ed2 2005-01-09 20:59:33 UTC 
Given that:

1)  All other menu items in OOo which are followed by three dots invoke dialog
boxes.

2)  All menu items in most other common software packages which are followed by
three dots invoke dialog boxes (I can't actually think of any other menu item in
ANY program which is followed by three dots but does not invoke a dialog box!).

this menu item's behavoir is inconsistent both with all other menu items in OOo,
and (as far as I know) all other software, which means that OOo IS defective.

This issue therefere is a defect, as I originally stated, and not an enhancement
as fst wrongly stated.

Do you really think it is worth having a check for this in OOo?

Do you really like it when a menu-item changes its caption?

It this is changed at all, I vote for disabeling the entry instead of removing
the dots.

People will use Insert|Rows or Insert|Columns anyway.

Checked in the latest OOo 3 dev release, and this issue is still present as
originally described.
