Description dlesieur 2005-12-24 02:44:16 UTC 
The size and layout of the Thesaurus window should be redesigned to show more
synonyms. The impossibly tiny list box shows about 5 words only. 

We do not want to scroll through that list. Access to synonyms should be fast!
We NEED to see them all for a quick selection. Can you believe I am missing
WordPerfect 5.1? :-) Seriously, Thesaurus access in WP was extremely efficient.

Currently, if we want to see all the synonyms, we have to move the focus to the
list box, which for most people means reaching for the mouse (although there are
other means), which is annoying. And once the focus is set, we then have to
scroll back and forth through the list before selecting a synonym.

What NOT to do: Make the Thesaurus window resizable to let the user enlarge the
list boxes. We do NOT want more mouse operations, really. Instead, try bigger
list boxes and even multiple columns. Be imaginative. :-)

Keep up the good work. I love OOo!
