--- Comment #1 from [email protected] <[email protected]> 2011-11-12 04:13:24 PST --- Additional thoughts re: proposed solution B ------------------------------------------- - it appears that all radio buttons in the "Paragraph Style: <Style>" dialogue box currently always have a default option selected. Therefore a way to indicate deferral to the parent style for radio box would be for clicking on a currently-selected option to /remove/ that selection, leaving /nothing/ selected in the optiongroup. I think this would be reasonably clear, and of course would toggle back and forth very easily. - for combo boxes (e.g. "Before indent", "Scale width", etc), I have often instinctively sought to "clear" these values by deleting all text in them, then clicking / tabbing out. At the moment, if there is no text in a combo box when it loses focus, a default value (0.00cm, 100%, etc) is substituted in. I'd suggest that instead this could be taken as an indication that the user wishes to clear that property and defer back to the parent style. The default value can still be easily entered, either by hand or via the "Standard" button in the bottom right of the "Paragraph Style: <Style>" dialogue box, and as I mentioned, I've often tried this method intuitively. - this leaves checkboxes. Obviously they can't be dealt with in the same way as radio buttons, since un-checking a checkbox which is checked in the parent style is a legitimate expression of preference. Altogether I think there are 25 checkbox options in the "Paragraph Style: <Style>" dialogue box: Organizer > AutoUpdate Indents & Spacing > (2 options) Alignment > (2 options) Text flow > (5 options) Asian Typography > (3 options) Font Effects > (5 options) Position > (2 options) Asian Layout > Write in double lines Outline numbering > (2 options) Drop caps > (2 options) Barring any flashes of insight, a "[Clear all]" button is still the best solution I can think of for these. Obviously the "[Clear all]" button would only apply to the currently visible tab, as does the existing "[Standard]" button. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
