In Print composer, menu Setting should open only Composer options

Currently the menu is a shortcut to the whole Options, which is confusing for the user, as also tabs for non relevant options are shown (e.g. Digitizing, etc.).

Cannot test on 3.1 now. On 3.0 it was as in 2.18.
Thanks.

Closing for lack of feedback.

• status_id was changed from Feedback to Closed
• resolution was changed from to not reproducable

This is still unchanged. To better explain: I believe that the menu Settings in the Layout window should not bring up the whole Options popup, as it happens currently (with the Layouts tab preselected), but a dialog with only the Layout options. The current situation is confusing to the user.

• resolution was changed from not reproducable to
• status_id was changed from Closed to Open
• version was changed from 3.0.0 to 3.2.2

@nirvn can we get a UX call here? I'm -1 to the change, but @pcav is obviously +1

[nyalldawson]

(and i'd like to close this report either way)

[nirvn]

I'm also -1 for as long as we focus the right tab for users to land on (which we do). This concept of opening a dialog focused on what was requested within a broader set of tabs is also found elsewhere (think status bar projection button to change project CRS).

[nyalldawson]

Processing options does it too.

Closing as "wontfix"
