--- Comment #8 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #7) > I also think we should avoid extremely "jumpy" UI that could be problematic > or confusing for many users. How would it be confusing, when users never see this kind of filtering without explicitly choosing it? > Imagine scrolling through a document rapidly, > how often the listing would have to be updated. Well, two options: 1. No update of the style list until you stop scrolling for a moment. 2. Update every X seconds (or deci-seconds?) while you are scrolling and it would be what the user expects. > I thought of an alternative like "Style in selection" to only show whatever > is used in the currently selected text, but that doesn't really make sense > as it would go against the use of the Style sidebar: applying a style to the > selection. You could make the same argument about "Styles in Use": You can't use that to apply a currently-unused style. Same thing for only showing the styles of the current page, viewport or selection: You can't use that filtered list to apply a different style. But you _can_ use it to apply one of the styles used to the whole page, viewport or selection. > I think your usecase is now mostly covered by using Spotlight + Applied > styles. No, it is not, because once you have many styles in the document - at any given time, most styles are not visible in the list, so you don't know how to interpret the spotlight. And if you scroll to one style, you again can't see the styles that are not close to it on the list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
