Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-02 22:12:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When you run konqueror and enter some web page the location box background color is white, but when you enter web page via SSL the background is yellow. This is visual indicator if the connection is secure.

While editing and with defined personal data you are revealing your identity -- this is good if your doc is going to coworker, it could be unwanted if you would like to go public.

Please provide anonymous editing feature. My suggestion:
* user should always see what identity is used for current doc (status bar?)
* user should be able to change mode immediately (one-two click to enter anonymouse mode)
* leaving anonymous mode should be possible yet with warning about leaving secure mode
* for anonymous mode visual (color) indicator is welcome

Since there is some support for anonymous editing already then more attention to bring it up front is only needed.

Thank you for your bug report or feature suggestion.

The "KOffice" application suite is no longer maintained, and all tickets are now closed.

We recommend to switch to the "Calligra" application suite, which has replacements for all unmaintained KOffice applications:

- KWord was replaced with Calligra Words
- KPlato was replaced with Calligra Plan

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligra_Suite
