Description: The Drawing Object Properties bar in my German Writer 5.4.2.2 has (among others) these two symbols: - one pot with a downwards arrow head which says "Füllfarbe" (filling color), - another pot beside a colored bar and a downwards arrow head, which also says "Füllfarbe". - If I change the first, the second changes likewise. - If I change the second, nothing else happens. This is relatively confusing: - If these menu items have distinct functionality, then render this clear in their handling and assign them different names. - If they have the same functionality, merge them. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on a graphics figure to show Drawing Object Properties bar. Actual Results: An inconsistent menu bar appeared. Expected Results: Assign distinct functions to distinct symbols and merge identical functions into one symbol. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Yes both were essential in 4.4, the second control at that time didnt give access to the color picker widget pulldown, but starting from 5.0 the first one became redundant. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/43828
