Yes, but that's even more confusing, since it's not visually obvious that the elements on this menu are the dialog tabs; you have to basically believe it. Plus, when you make a selection that way, the set of visible tabs change, and now you have no idea where you are, it's just a bunch of unrecognized tabs everywhere. > That said, 16 tabs seems like an unusually high amount of pages, vs 5-10 > tabs… Remember the vertical tabs made an appearance in the first place because of the dialogs with lots of tabs, where 2 and especially 3 lines of top tab-headers felt excessive and confusing. > In extreme cases like that, maybe you would be better served > by using the > same widget as the global Options' dialog (the vertically scrollable > treeview/listview), which is more compact and (by nature of being > scrollable) does not have such limitations? It's not an extreme case, and it's not about myself but about all of our users. Editing a paragraph style or opening other dialogs with many tabs is not an extreme case. Having said that - yes, that is a possible workaround here. But in 26.2 we're supposed to have icons next to tab names... Also, I seem to be seeing different behavior with newer nightlies, e.g. Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ed45cdaef3d2807d0b9d6a4c08da375fc72024a6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US is it just me or has a change been introduced to avoid the overflow? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
