What's intuitive and not is different from user to user. So, for instance *I*
don't consider this as intuitive and looking at other softwares I see they
behave the same as OOo or the way you describe or have a completly different
behavior.
So, in this case, "intuitiveness" is not very clear.
I see 2 reasons not to accept this Enhancement:
1) in a toolbar you have a lot of itmes which have defaults or already set
parameters: Ex: in the Formatting toolbar, Paragraph style at cursor position or
last applied Font Color.
- Suppose you have 3 paragraphs formatted as Standard, Preformatted Text and
Heading 1.
- Suppose the last color you have chosen in the Font Color floating was Blue
If you select the 3 paragraphs from top to bottom, the Styles listbox will show
Heading 1 (because that's where the cursor is)
The Font Color icon will still be set too Blue because it's the last chosen
color.
So know, if you'd make your Font and Font Size changes and would apply with 1
time Return ALL toolbar settings, you would get the selection formatted as
Heading 1 and Blue (plus, of course, the changes you made).
That's not really what you want, isn't it?
That's why it is better to keep the controls independent from each other.
2) One could imagine a mechanism which only applies the changes *just* made in
the toolbar but:
- it would cost to much (dev effort) for the outcome
- it would cost too much performance (each control checking each time if it's
content has changed).
