Bug ID: 160684
Summary: The Landscape style is nonsensical while we have
neither hierarchical nor composable page styles
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
Writer's Styles sidebar has a page style named "Landscape", which is also one
of the styles in the default-visible list when creating a new document.
I claim such having such a page style is nonsensical.
So, what is the "Landscape" style supposed to be? Given its name, one assumes
it is a sort of a "landscape-layout version" of Default Page Style. However -
it is not: It does not inherit the Default Page Style. They could be completely
different and incompatible in many respects.
Let us remember, that currently, page styles cannot inherit each other! This is
bug 41316. If "Landscape" had inherited the default style, I could live with
having this style, although it's still a bit questionable to have a separate
page style for a single aspect change relative to parent.
Such a style would make more sense as a "mixin" or "delta" style, if styles
were made composable as suggested in bug 149271.
