The difference is

 Insert something, not only data

Wirk with Data

I dislike the idea, -250 from my side

An option to set alternating colours or shadings, as is possible for tables in
dialogs or in Writer, would indeed be helpful in some cases.

[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 155153] Calc: menu item "Format - Group" should be more clear

Code pointer: 

.uno:GroupMenu in [1] and in [2] (both labels are "Group")

AFAICS all apps (sw*, sc, sd*) collect the commands .uno:FormatGroup,
.uno:FormatUngroup, .uno:EnterGroup, and .uno:LeaveGroup under this submenu. 

Calc has a context menu for drawing objects with this submenu.

Every property of a character style can appear in a paragraph style.

This particular case is about one attribute of CS that clashes with the same
attribute on PS. I wonder if there is more than font name. As a potential
solution we could add the font "[Default]" to the list.

And there, in bug 88559 comment 17, I argued that the character styles' "some
properties unspecified" are a separate issue :-) So this one could be it :)

--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski  ---
Basically, this is a part of bug 88559. The said bug 88559 is about display of
*any* case when any property is not defined in this style; and the specific
case when *the whole hierarchy* of styles (of a specific kind) does not define
such a property should be resolved together (and character styles are not some
kind of an edge case).

We definitely need to use *some* font for preview. But the preview can have a
tooltip or another notification that "properties not defined in the character
style and its ancestors are taken from document's defaults". The fields
themselves should have the indication of inheritance (bug 88559) and some
indication that no inherited value exist, to address what RGB reports.

Note that Liberation Serif is the hardcoded *default* for a new document, and
can de changed (with the awful, not intuitive, and actually misleading UI) -
see bug 152537. It is *not* the same as Paragraph's Default style's font, but
the UI in the Options dialog affects them both.

I hope you agree that if you see one thing on the style editor while creating
the style and a completely different thing on the style inspector then you have
a consistency problem.

CS attributes are independent from PS; the only way to solve the problem is to
not being able to change the font on CS. If you make Emphasis, as an example,
inherit from Bullets the font will be OpenSymbol; using the PS as default
sounds wrong to me.

That's what the Styles Inspector was introduced for (the 6th item on the
Sidebar).

Not a topic for UX then (likely a duplicate).

I can't suggest that, because the whole situation is invalid: Font selection
has nothing to do with language or country selection.

If we did that, however, it would resolve this particular bug, while
maintaining, perhaps even underlining, the bug of having country/locale
selection in the wrong place. I suppose that would be an improvement over the
current state of affairs.

As for the deeper solution... I'll first say that I think there should be a
deep paradigmatic discussion about these issues. Possibly even deeper than at
the LibreOffice app level. I'll then say that maybe it makes sense for the
choice of locale to be outside the app, tied to the choice of keyboard layout.
Because there's no reason the user should not be able to enter text in multiple
locales in the same language group, regardless of font; and that action is not
specific to LO, but does seem to tie nicely with the desktop-environment-level
choice of keyboard layout. And as for fonts and font families - the dialog
should allow the specification of a font-set, as discussed in bug 151215: A
mapping from languages to fonts with fallbacks for languages not explicitly
specified or when glyphs are missing etc.

--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze  ---
Some of the paragraph styles (PS) are used by internal functions such as
"Content " 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).

So you suggest to have a separate dropdown for Country in the font tab,
probably one for all three groups?
