Re: [libreoffice-users] Insert Special Characters

What determines whether a change like this is a good idea?

I mean, I see over time lots of discussion about implemented changes that
seem to have huge retrograde effects on the ability to create, and only
make sense in the terms of UI or ease of maintenance. (Or if you want to go
a step further, only makes sense for spies from a competing product to
insert to break the user base.... I don't mean this specific change... just
the area of "why did it work before and now doesn't?" changes that are
intentionally created.)

Is there any forward looking consideration to these discussions that
complain about already implemented changes being so awful? Is anyone doing
a learning check on successful changes that generate these kind of
complaints?

The lack of control on what gets changed seems to be the undoing of the
app.
