I should definitely have another look at where we're at in this respect - it
looks like there has indeed been improvement.

However, I'm pretty sure there is no style linking: table style having
different row and column styles for header and body columns (unless the header
cell is within the row or column style), or odd and even styles, and those row
and column styles being linked to cell styles, and those cell styles linked to
paragraph styles (which finally are linked to character styles).

Anyway, getting off-topic here. Never mind.

Hidden? In what sense?

You  mean, a preview when you click once instead of twice? or during hover? Or
do you mean you want to see a small dummy table at the bottom of the sidebar
with the preview? Anyway, sounds like a separate bug.

I also feel the whole arrangement is kind of kludgy. There should be more
consistency in the behavior of other styles. But again - that's a different
bug.

Why don't you ask for an agenda item for a design meeting about these issues,
and we could have a chat about them?
