Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks|107833 |103427 --- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> --- Some of the paragraph styles (PS) are used by internal functions such as "Content <n>" for the Table of Contents (check the Styles tab), and some depend on the context, for example Caption > Text- you may want a different PS for frame captions vs. tables captions. The Stylist (this complex sidebar UI) has various filters to accommodate many different needs. The full list is not recommendable for novices; and while you like the tree it's not a simple UI. Some effort has been done to bring the best into the Automatic style (for example bug 69551). Please review bug 103427 for duplicates, there are many. I think your request is not actionable (we cannot submit a patch that resolves an issue) nor entirely justified. We can discuss some names, fiddle around with the organization but in the end it remains the same workflow. And the actual use case of "I struggle to pick the right PS for my task" requires to read the documentation. The second part of expanding a dropdown into a tree makes no sense to me. Trees are not recommended usability-wise (although expert user may love it), neither the styles dropdown nor the Notebookbar styles area list all PS but offer access to the Stylist. Lot of room for improvements here, see bug 90646, bug 93111, bug 143987, and bug 153581. Just to pick a few. My take here: WONTFIX (ticket has been tagged as needsUXEval so we seek for input from different people ideally and either agree and forward to developers or resolve WF/NAB; you can always reopen a ticket, I wont close it again).
