--- Comment #27 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
The idea of Apply is usually to revert changes in all tabs via Cancel
(otherwise the function would be just work like Okay while keeping the dialog
open). This is, however, not a feasible idea as it means to store each and
every setting at the moment a dialog opens (and there are hundreds). 

The alternative is using inline previews (bug 37048) or to have individual
controls that apply the modification on hover. Something like the font name
picker or the paragraph style selector where these settings only are applied on
hover but not become effective unless clicked.

=> -1 (marking the ticket as META anyway since many requests have asked similar
questions and the users stick to the apply-in-dialogs idea)
