Description Mihai Vasiliu 2025-06-02 09:59:10 UTC 
Description:
When using the Styles sidepanel, you have a hierarchy of styles, but no way to preview the actual style without applying it first.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any calc sheet or create a default one.
2. Open the Styles sidepanel (Alt+2)
3. Expand the styles hierarchy

Actual Results:
Observe that the styles are shown only as text, no preview is available either in place or when clicking or hovering on them

Expected Results:
I should be presented a hierarchycal view where the style name is formatted as per the style definition, or at least permit hovering it or clicking it with the mouse cursor to temporary show a preview.


Reproducible: Always

Notice that this styles preview works as expected in Writer, but NOT in Calc, even if i toggle the Show preview checkbox at the bottom.
