In LO5.2 this option is missing in drop down menu.

Hello Vojtěch, *,
I can confirm it with
OS: Debian Testing AMD64
LO: Version: 5.2.0.4
Build-ID: 1:5.2.0-2
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: GL; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)
(Debian's own version)

but also with Version: 5.2.0.4
Build-ID: 066b007f5ebcc236395c7d282ba488bca6720265
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)
(LO's version, parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux)
so setting the status to new :)
HTH
Thomas.

Right. This was done on purpose, based on suggestions from https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/20446/

> Also dissapeared options Synonyms
It's still there, just hidden when there are no available synonyms.

> and Paragraph style
Still there, too - that's the last item in your 5.2 screenshoot.

Anyway, since 5.2 it's possible to customize context menus, so you can easily add there any commands you want. Look at Tools > Customize > Context Menus. Look there for the "Text" menu.

Thank you, yes, this is a way, how I can restore context menu for my personal preference in LO 5.2.x so I can bypass this "regression".
So I have one question: Is there any easy way to transfer (export) customized preferences (menu, toolbar, keyborad shorcuts etc.) to import them to another computer with installed LO?
I know, that changed preferences are saved in users profile, but on different systems (*nix, Windows, Mac, maybe Android) are they in different hardly found locations. It would be nice to export preferences to file by users wish.
