--- Comment #16 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to David from comment #15)

IUUC, your comments then meant a vote for WONTFIX for the proposal here, based
on existing solution for the stated problem that the proposal intended to
solve.

The toolbar in question is not a solution at all. It is unavailable in some UI
configurations; it doesn't (and can't, because of limited space) have controls
for all character styles (only some are represented there as buttons) - or it
would then need even more space for page styles, frame styles, etc...

The proposal in comment 5 is intended to provide the maximum usability for
those who prefer a large window for the "active" style category, and at the
same time, providing immediate display of *all* active style names in
always-visible headings of collapsed categories. Indeed, this still requires
switching between the categories, which original proposal intended to avoid;
yet, comment 5 is expected to address the "current implementation of the
Stylist makes it unnecessarily difficult" piece of original description.

"How the navigator pane already functions" is not something that we can try to
reproduce in new UI elements, because "how the navigator pane already
functions" is just an artifact of transition from separate windows to sidebar,
with the sidebar's current inability to undock separate panes - which, when
Navigator was initially removed as a separate window, caused strong pushback,
after which it was decided, that Navigator will be an exception *for the
transitional period*, until the proper undocking will be implemented for
sidebar panels - see bug 73151. So this curiosity is destined to be removed at
some point (of course, it takes long, but this doesn't change things).
