Description Ninguém 2023-07-06 13:43:57 UTC 
Description:
Would it be possible to show distinctly what options, in styles, have been inherited from hierarchically superior styles? Maybe shading the background in a subtle lighter/darker colour, or with a border around the inherited/changed options?...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any reasonably complex document in terms of formatting
2. Try to make sense of the settings changed in styles
3. Enjoy your confusion

Actual Results:
Get very confused and frustrated because there is no way to distinguish between options that where taken regarding the present style and the ones that where inherited.

Expected Results:
Display, clearly, the options that where taken regarding the present style and the ones that where inherited.


Reproducible: Always
