Instead it changes the current paragraph to paragraph style Horizontal Line. Not
nice.
Insert a horizontal line should definitely NOT mean: change the whole paragraph
layout, including fonts, line spacing, indentation, font color, background
color, etc.
Suppose you have your carefully defined paragraph style, now you want to insert
a horizontal line below the text, not as part of the text. Now the whole
paragraph style changes to the predefined Horizontal Line style. That's not
what I mean with Insert horizontal line. So it should either insert a new
paragraph with only a horizontal line, or it should add a horizontal line to
the current paragraph by changing its bottom border attribute only. The latter
option robs you of the possibility of styling the line in advance.
At first, I was against that empty paragraph. Now I think it's better
solution then just changing border attribute (for reason you mentioned
at the very end).
I guess the cache is that 'Horizontal rule' style is within the same
category as any other paragraph style so LO can't make difference
weather you wanted to apply style 'Horizontal rule' to selected text or
you just wanted to insert a horizontal rule in a new paragraph below
selected one.
It doesn't work how we conceptualize it, but then again - it working as
designed (it's not broken or a bug).
I guess it's just the way it is...
