WPS Writer's Break drop down menu

Enable experimental features (Tools > LibreOffice(Dev) > Advanced > Enable experimental features, restart if needed) and switch Writer to Tabbed interface (View > User Interface > Tabbed)

Select Layout Tab. From latest master build, there are two break functions: Page Break and Manual break. I suggest to make a "Breaks" drop down menu with all available break functions there as WPS Writer has.


Expected result:
>Unified drop down Breaks menu

Actual result:

>Two break functions

There is Page Break where you make an automatic break and Page Break Dialog where you get the dialog with the different options.

In Insert there is "Only" direct page break but in Layout you have direct page break and manual Break menu. As Title page is also in insert and layout I can replace Title page from insert with manual Break menu.

The idea was to have automatic page break in insert and all features in Layout tab, but as I suggest change Title Page with manual Break menu will work also.

repro 24.2+, but I wouldn't change anything.

Currently, all MenuInsert's have "Manual Break menu" (.uno:InsertBreak).

Home and Insert tabs only have .uno:InsertPageBreak.
In layout tab, the Page break and Manual break are stacked - so no wasted space.

I don't see any reason to make changes. Plus, manual break contains Page Break by definition, so what value would be combining these two into a dropdown?
