Style preview box in LO 26.2 nightly, GTK3, in Dark mode
The style preview box renders style names, in the relevant styles, within
rectangles, within the box, for the user to select. The rectangle for rendering
the style name is not very large, and the style name may well exceed it if the
style mandates a large font size. It stands to reason, therefore, that the
placement of the style name within the rectangle will maximize the use of
space: Either:
* Placing the rendered name's center in the rectangle center; or
* Place the start of the style name very close to the starting edge of the
rectangle. (Note I said start, note left edge; the style name may be in an RTL
script like Arabic or Hebrew.)
but - that's not what happens. It seems that the the start of the style name is
placed at a very generous distance away from the rectangle start, so that,
typically, it reaches well beyond the corresponding point on the other side of
the rectangle center. See attached (partial) screenshot.
