            Bug ID: 172077
           Summary: enhancement: Cleaning up the document / clearing
                    direct formatting -- intelligent response
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 26.8.0.0 alpha0+ master
          Hardware: All

         Component: Writer

hi, 

Cleaning up the document is a key thing, without doubt.
The "clear direct formatting" works very well!!

But it could be improved. 
Moreover, if it gets improved, it will be a super-useful, universally used
functionality (as I far as I can see :))

What we miss is indication of what has happened (as we pressed clear direct
formatting).

....
An intelligent response could be:

Do not indicate "document has changed" (there are unsaved changes) when nothing
has happened.
(That icon shouldn't turn red.)

....
NOTE:
....
In my Writer instance, on a linux mint machine, when I press clear direct
formatting, one of the following two things happen:

1. A blink - the text disappears for a millisecond, as if it was reorganized.

2. The text remains steady, no blink, not even for a micro second :) 

This tells me that this functionality almost works already :) 
At least, I can use this "response"... 
a blink meaning, "done!" 
motionlessness meaning: "nothing to do"
:)
