>So we may better keep it in the pop-up dialog and change at the parent.
I understand that ”Arrow Styles” has gotten a ”deprecated” status, but that the
recent patch to the Arrow Styles dialog (bug 126658) was accepted as a
tolerable quick solution to that bug (as noted in 5 May design meeting
minutes).

Meanwhile, as noted in bug 148737, comment 11, I am willing to change the
"parent" (Arrow Styles tab in Line dialog) (and probably the "Arrow Styles"
heading in the Line tab).

But the discussion in bug 148737 raised reasons (e.g., help translation,
consistency within the entire Line dialog) that it might be better to change
the Arrow Styles tab at the same time as the other tabs in the Line dialog.

     => If there is no intent to rework the Line dialog (or the Arrow Styles
tab) before 7.4 UI freeze, but there is an intent to keep (for now) the recent
patch from bug 126658 then I would propose to submit the patch in comment 1,
because:

 1. It addresses the ”popup” dialogs associated with the Arrow Styles tab in
the Line dialog, where
 2. some users (including myself) are hypersensitive to the UI terms within a
related workflow. In this case, when using the ”Arrow styles” tab to add,
delete, or rename a new style (according to the widgets in the Arrow styles
tab), it is a source of ”unease” (to greater or less extent, depending on the
user) when the popup dialogs to these widgets use a different term ”arrowheads”
to refer to what the parent dialog refers to as ”styles”.

The proposal here tries to reconcile the diverse and diverging interests, so
that it is possible to move forward. Otherwise, no strong opinion about how to
proceed.
