Description: UI: Font tab formatting options could be shown in button instead of drop down Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Write 2. Sidebar -> Paragraph style deck -> Right click default paragraph style -> Modify 3. Font tab Actual Results: Drop down for formatting options Expected Results: Probably also a matter of taste.. kind of liking the idea of formatting buttons (as in toolbar) instead of drop down. I might be more visual oriented. Disliking reading lines of text.. And stuff being hidden behind drop down. So no never now what's kind of options are in the list.. And the number of options being pretty limited OTOH: font effects does the same.. and the list with options to long to replace with buttons.. so based on consistency the current makes sense Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e97a81e94511b52987a50b7bdb72c922899da588 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL
(In reply to Telesto from comment #0) > 2. Sidebar -> Paragraph style deck -> Right click default paragraph style -> > Modify > 3. Font tab What is the "Paragraph style deck"? Paragraph properties dialog - has no font tab, Character properties - what dropdown, Styles & Formatting - no font. Think I get it, you mean the Paragraph Style dialog (not direct formatting). But the font tab has no dropdown except for the language. Font Effects has many, however. And there are some tickets- more specifically discussing the dropdowns. So again, what exactly is it about?

The layout of the dialog will shift depending on per user language setting selection (Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages). But for any dialog layout, I fail to see how a Button control rather than a Droplist would be appropriate for selection of Font, Style or Size? -1
