Description Arnab 2021-01-05 16:18:33 UTC
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.

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?

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)
