Description: In former times LO has an additional second feature in the options where now ist just one of them: In [options]-[LibreOffice]-[View] you can now (and have been alog for a longer tim/versions) click an option "Activate font preview". This is useful to see what will happen if a font has been selected. In former times ther were a second option to de-/activate, that the current font automatically moves to the top of the font list. This option has been removed, too bad! I ( and perhaps others also) need it, because it is good behaviour, to use just one font within one document. But you can use this one font in various writings, eg Regular, Italic, Condensed, Medium, Light, etc. All of them are listed together in the normal list. But if one of them ist already selected, the curser in the list ist positioned at the very beginning of the list. To find their "siblings" I have to search again in my long list to find the others. If there are many of them, the same procedure has to be repeated many times, until finally, all of them are on the top of the list. And the next time again. Please reinstall ths 2nd choice (which name I do not remember), so I could choose "font preview" with [yes] and the other one with [no] (which is not the default now.
