Hovering over a font in the sidebar or toolbar combobox in Calc does not "live preview" it on canvas anymore. Reporting this regression as I could not see it tracked elsewhere and I understand it was not by design. Bibisected with linux-64-7.0 repository to build commit [375b2a52d02794c668e0e6a4328da042fd973ab1] which points to core commit: commit d7a271c08fe072b35cf759aef417bbe23ffc96b4 author Caolán McNamara Fri Apr 17 20:52:03 2020 +0100 committer Caolán McNamara Mon Apr 20 19:45:04 2020 +0200 effectively unused mnStyle member Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/92490 Caolán, that wasn't planned, right? Heiko, copying you in because of the previous discussions about live-previewing (bug 37048 notably) and its relation to design guidelines.

That seems to do what it used to do before.

Stephane, can you add a screenshot to see the live preview? I don't see in the last master build by myself yesterday.
