Created attachment 171922 [details] Screenshots describing the issue So I was testing the Fontwork feature in LO 7.2 alpha (build from 2021-05-06) and I noticed that the sidebar of Fontwork objects are now missing all the properties that were previously available. In the attached ODG file I show screenshots describing the problem. Basically, in LO 7.1 the user can change properties as Area, Effect, Line, Shadow, etc (which is very handy). However, in LO 7.2 the sidebar only shows the Fontwork properties. I believe this was caused by this patch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/112275 I also believe the original intent of this patch was to add Fontwork to the sidebar in addition to the properties that were already present. However, it ended up removing the other properties.

So, I restarted in Safe Mode and used the option "Reset settings and user interface modifications". Then I clicked "Apply Changes and Restart". Now my sidebar looks like yours. This happened before with other UI changes in LO that did not take effect until I reset my user profile. It seems that whenever there's a change in the sidebar, I need to reset my profile. Will that be the case for users that upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2, meaning that this issue could happen with them after upgrade as well?

Yes, as I recall--between major releases the Sidebar customization has to be reset to defaults, especially when there are new features being added. And of course usually best to back up and completely clear user Profile--then restore what is useful (unfortunately that is not well automated).
