Description: In the new Libreoffice 7.1 prerelease, the styles preview in Libreoffice writer (tabbed view) is not looking like the previous one. If this is a new style then please bring back the previous one or make it look a little bit nice with padding. Also there is no padding in most of the boxes. Keeping text in the middle of the box without the text touching the boundary will make it look really good. I have a windows 64bit machine and 1080p 15.6 inch monitor (141.21 dpi) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Libreoffice writer 2.Change the UI to tabbed view 3.Look at the styles preview Actual Results: The "default paragraph" is not fully shown The other 'heading' styles are not fully visible and it looks bad (causes headache if not disabled) Expected Results: These things should have been either shown using small icons like before or maybe make the size of these "text boxes" should have been smaller. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I am not insulting or critisizing you but we just know that the tabbed UI experience could be better. You are already doing pretty good job. "Thumbs up" for you.

Created attachment 168708 [details] Tabbed NB Home tab Style selections 7.1.0.1 Confirmed. Version: 7.1.0.1 (x64) Build ID: b585d7d90ab863bf29b2d110c174c0c2a98f3ee4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I don't have an issue with this "full scale" style preview (from standard template) rendering on the Home tab of Tabbed NB. The x width could be made just a bit wider to eliminate the truncation of 'Default paragraph' and 'Heading 1'; but no need for y height change. As opposed to icon selections, this provides more helpful information
I believe "Bring back the..." is not working. WYSIWYG is a big advantage and maybe the developers can solve the minor issues you have. * label not fully shown: How about a tooltip? * looks bad: add some pixel margins? Anything else?

(In reply to andreas_k from comment #4) > right click for edit would be nice. Let's not make this a wish list aka META ticket. Point is that we either resolve as WF (we do not want to bring back the plain dropdown) or change summary and request to one issue. But preferably we close the ticket and file new.
I can change width of the preview so that Heading 1 with default template is visible. Together with a tooltip (and right click behaviour) the previews are better than the drop down menu (which is available at the sidebar)

Szymon Kłos committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/fd9b52502de6044a2249ff81407ac579a35ad3a1 tdf#139429 Convert Style previews widget to IconView It will be available in 7.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Arnab, have you tested a recent version of LO? Szymon's patch in comment 10 has changed quite a few things. I agree that tooltips should be added as we will always have cutoff labels. Maybe this request can focus on that? (In reply to andreas_k from comment #4) > right click for edit whould be nice. That was implemented by Jim for bug 137121, but somewhat broken by Szymon's patch (tracked in bug 145547 and bug 146314).
Created attachment 194234 [details] Screenshot of style previews in ribbon-like UIs in MS 365, OnlyOffice, WPS For comparison, here are other office suites that use a ribbon-like UI and have a similar widget for paragraph styles: - Top: MS 365. Shows a maximum of 3 styles, which can reduce depending on window size. Has tooltips. Down arrow shows more styles in a dropdown list. - Middle: OnlyOffice 8.0.1.31. Number of styles adapts to window size, from 1 to more than 10. Has tooltips. Down arrow expands to a multi-row grid that accommodates all styles. - Bottom: WPS 11.1.0.11719. Minimum of 3 styles, but can drag divider to show more. Does not have tooltips. Like OnlyOffice, down arrow expands to a multi-row grid that accommodates all styles. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 + GNOME 42.9; MS 365 in Firefox.
