But you also loose the selection frame when the dialog is not in focus anymore (switching to another application while keeping the UI visible). That might depend on the OS but is caused by some default UI interaction. > c) Arrows should be more visible The arrows are just an additional indicator for the selection. All the trouble results from the fact that we overload the preview with functions. You can enable/disable lines by clicking it and you can multi-select border to apply, for example, a line style to left and bottom at once. If the OP expects here a change for only one line, let's say the bottom, there are many scenarios where changing all at once is preferred for convenience. Ultimately the concept works not so well and we have many tickets around this UI (Telesto put his finger on this wound a lot). A proposal for solution is in bug 143249. So let's continue there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 143249 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
