Calc: How to get tabs and scroll back to single bar?

users
#1

One of the features of 4.4.0 version of Calc is that the tab bar and
scroll bar have been split onto separate lines. Is there any way I can
get them back to how they have always been, i.e. sharing tne same line
at the bottom?

@Graham,

Short answer, not for the 4.4 branch--the change in UI functions as
designed.

But, it has been added as an Expert Configuration stanza for master (with
daily dev builds) and will be available with the 4.5 release early August.

If you are interested, the UX issue in splitting the Sheet Tabs from the
scroll bars can be found in issue tdf#36772
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36772> and the other
side of the issue leading to implementation of a customization in Expert
Config in issue tdf#87684
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87684> .

Availability as an Expert Config stanza is a bit misleading as there is a
substantial bit of code that can not now be back ported to 4.4 to change the
UI there.

Meanwhile, perhaps have a go with a daily 4.5.0 dev build --

Thanks for the information. Sorry I took a while to respond but, for
once, I don't think it was my fault; I was unable to see the
fascinating conversations on bugzilla as it hasn't been accessible
until a few hours ago.

Now that I can see the reason for the change, I'm less bothered by it
than I was before although it's not something that has ever affected
me, even though I've experimented with various different styles for
the application appearance.
