https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85415 --- Comment #20 from Marcel Partap --- for me in Debian's libreoffice writer 6.1.5-1, when I select formatted text and click on the ... uh 😳 .. totally missed this: Even though the icon's caption says "New Style from Selection", the actions are named only "New Style" & "Update Style".. if you do not read the caption, you will not come to the conclusion these are with regard to the current selection. Mhh. Independent from that, the "New Style from Selection" and another "Update Style from Selection" should be listed in the "Styles" subsection of the context menu of selected formatted text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Quite obvious yes :) As written, it's confusing introducing an additional way of creating a style that does not have an indication of the way it works. When hoovering the list of styles, one sees the drop down per style so one will definitely not miss the New in the submenu. Also it makes clear to users that there is some dependency.

The Styles and Formatting window is a different control to the styles drop down menu, so ultimately their behaviour will be different. The question is, "Should a user be able to create a new style without having to first select a style that it should be based on?" I say yes and you say no, but this behaviour is available in the F11 window. Just right click in the empty white space under the last style, and click 'New' and it will be based on 'Default Style'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Now, if you choose new slide from the context menu in the window Styles and Formatting, the newly created style will be inheriting from the style where you choose New.
