--- Comment #23 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
@Luke,  no the original summary and issue in bug 65351 is *Sidebar: default
view is not "Styles and formatting"*

The dominant position on the Sidebar's Tab bar unfortunately encourages direct
formatting rather than efficient use of styles.

Also, I don't beleive I've ever advocated to "to hide paragraph properties by
default" rather I've only consistently opined that Styles & Formatting should
be the default landing deck--thereby deephasizing the Properties deck. 

That remains the situation.

So, while bug 73071 evolved into and has been implemented--adding an ill
advised Styles dropdown "preview" content panel positioned prominently in the
*Properties* deck--we still have the UI and UX issue of which is better GUI for
supporting use of styles.

As it is now--neither Deck: Properties, nor Styles & Formatting--fulfills the
needs.

Also even though bug 73071 has delivered a Style picker to the Properties
deck--we still have the issue of customization where folks who really do work
more effectively with styles rather than direct formatting will prefer to place 
the Styles and Formatting deck in the dominant position.

So in essence rather than cleaning up the existing Styles and Formatting deck
and giving it top position--as this issue advised--we have instead duplicated a
portion the Styles content panel for use as a picker on the Properties deck. 
Again to the detriment of using styles rather than direct formatting.

Stuart
