Description Stefan Knorr (astron) 2012-02-06 03:19:47 UTC

We should try to use split buttons for all toolbar color choosers, for a longer rationale, see: bug 45671.

How to get to see the button:
* Open Writer
* Insert a table via Ctrl-F12
/Result/ A table and the table toolbar appear.
* In the toolbar, find the Line Color item (icon: a blue line and a color bucket)
See that the button is a simple button, not a split button.

It is for using mouse cursor as brush?
And why only one icon and not all 4?

For every color button on the toolbar that should be changed to a 'split button' a separate bug has been entered. See bug 45671, which is the meta bug for them.
If there is a color button that you do not see in the bug, you ar einvited to enter it as a separate bug and link it to bug 45671. (See this bug as example)

I mean "Border style", "Border color", "Borders" and "Background" on "Table toolbar".
And thanks for improving office usability
