Both are less confusing than what we have now, but still not good enough IMHO
for two reasons:

1. Too long.
2.

That being said - I like the second option over the first. Additional options:

* "Slide component styles"
* "Slide element styles"
* "Slide components"
* "Slide master elements"
* "Master elements"

the benefit of the last three options is that it creates a better distinction
between the other style categories and this one, while not claiming these are
not styles. It would seem to the user like a way to format presentation
components generally, which is not DF.

I get that, but think it's not necessary, because the list of names makes it
clear it's not only about what's in the _current_ slide, just like everything
else in the styles sidebar affects the entire presentation.

Actually, I wish we could discuss this at the design meeting some time. But a
rename will resolve this bug AFAIAC.

Actually, that's not half bad! Because it's not the "Master Elements..."
command; it's a label at the top of a part of the styles sidebar.
