In a Writer document’s Navigator, the context (right-click) menu for each object includes actions that are not specifically contextual to that (or any particular) object or category, but rather control the modal operation of the Navigator:
- “Outline Level” - sets how many levels are included in the Navigator window;
- “Drag Mode” - controls how a drag from the document to another document is implemented;
- “Display” (mode) - controls whether the Navigator window is dedicated to a specific document or switches to whichever document is in the active window.
“Outline Level” and “Drag Mode” have controls at the top of the Navigator window – which is where, conceptually, they seem to belong (as they control general Navigator operation, not object properties). “Display” (mode) does not even have a control at the top (though it seems like it should). But none of them seem like they should be included in object-specific context menus – which makes me think I must be missing an important concept. Is there a reason – a conceptual basis – for including these Navigator mode controls in the object context menus? – or is this just a confusion to retard newcomers to the Navigator?
