I agree partially. In OOo1.1 we had everything inside the dialog page,
no additional dialog was necessary. It looked a bit squeezed, but
overall I also liked the old method more than the new one.

In general I nevertheless think that the new dialog is OK, because it
does the job. Customizing toolbars is nothing a lot of users do and if
they do it they don't do it each and every day. The "Add" button is
quite understandable and once the second dialog is open everything is
quite straightforward.

What should happen in that case? The configuration stuff was moved to
the new arrow button by intent because user studies showed that right
clicks are less intuitive than explicit buttons.

Interesting, the first thing I did in my personal installation was
replacing this assignment by a macro that pastes without formatting.
Here we seem to have the same liking. :-)

Besides that I'm not sure if my personal liking (or should I say: ours)
is really representative. At least my gut feeling is that keyboard
shortcuts better match to functions that don't open dialogs and that
"Paste unformatted is used more often than "Paste Special". Moreover,
the latter is easily accessible from the GUI already, the first one only
through some additional input.

Because you said that you already created too much RFEs for now, I will
volunteer for this one. :-)

BTW: the blanks in front of your quote signs (that prevent my TB from
recognizing them as quotes) are another known FF problem that e.g.
happens when you save your mail as a draft and continue editing later.
