Description: as in the subject Steps to Reproduce: 1. apply a style to a paragraph 2. now... pick another one and apply that 3. look at your list of styles Actual Results: on applying a style the list autoscrolls Expected Results: the list of styles should remain unmoved (there's no logical reason to make it jump to the top at all... I mean, if you clicked on it, it was in view, so there's no need to reposition the list.. it really should work without that "reload" glitch) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes
Don't know if I understood right. Opened a new Writer document. Write text content for 2 paragraphs. Set in sidebar the format for one of these paragraphs to "Preformatted Text" on the sidebar. When leaving sidebar "Preformatted Text" will scroll up so I could see it has been chosen. Click on the other paragraph I have created. Sidebar scrolls to "Default Paragraph Style". Will show the style of the paragraph. Set the paragraph to "Header". When leaving sidebar "Header" will scroll up so I could see it has been chosen. Last chosen style will be on top of the list every time. This is the same behavior in LO 24.2.2.2 on OpenSUSE 15.6 64bit rpm Linux. Indeed scrolling is a little bet confusing here, because we will see the last clicked entry without any problems. Lets wait for arguments … I will set this one to "NEW"

Keeping the Stylist's position on user input vs. when it changes programmatically after the focused paragraph has changed, sounds reasonable. But we need some feedback, as requested in Bug 118725 "No visual change after applying a paragraph style, until scrolling (no redraw)". And this can be either the document canvas scrolling up when a style is applied or the Stylist entry. Or we reject this feedback, which is of course only relevant for similar styles.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > "No visual change after applying a paragraph style, until scrolling (no redraw)". If we had some indication of both the user-selected item in the style list, and the current paragraph/selection's paragraph style (e.g. blue-background rect vs dotted-border rect), that could be the indication.
Adding the related bug mentioned in the dupe.
