It does, it's the control showing a sample of the line style in the "note lines and borders" section. > I've set _all_ options there (Text, Line, Freehand…) to a Dashed Line Style > pattern, anyway.

Again: you have to select the control and THEN change the style. The lines panel is NOT the preference, it's a tool to MODIFY the style somewhere. Just like the Font panel and the Colors panel work. > But worse: When I click now into the toolbar, selecting Add New Box, or Add > New Circle, I do get only new _arrows_. > > -- J0hn > That I seriously doubt.
