You've received precise examples and explanations to enable you to perceive where your usage is not in line with function. Yet you still claim there is a bug... at some point folks will tell you to move on. Meanwhile the UX facet of why it causes issues is our ongoing dichotomy of Direct Formatting vs. Style based authoring. > > That all being said, I adore Regina's proposal.

Not a lot to test or change--one commit to move the menu action for the Page... style dialog to a different section of the Format menu, with a tweak to its label. It won't work any differently, but may be less confusing for folks there ;-) Meanwhile examine the behavior of the Status bar indicator of the Page style, it is context menu (i.e. r-mouse click) enabled to allow you to select from the defined page styles and will display the Name of the page style applied to the document page with text cursor focus. It does not give any indication when the style has been modified from its template defaults. Open attachment 153099, its view mode should make the page styling apparent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
