Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-10-18 22:33:50 UTC
Calc shows us three categories of named styles: Cell, drawing, page.

But actually, we need:

* Character styles for subsets of the text in cells, in comments, and in text boxes (that's 108220)
* Paragraph styles for text boxes and comments.
* List styles for text boxes with numbered paragraphs

See also bug 152652 about style categories missing in Impress/Draw.

Sounds like a duplicate plus multiple issues in one report.

So what you're saying is make this a meta-bug and file the other issues individually? I could do that... but actually, other than 108220, the other styles all regard boxes - text boxes and comment boxes. Perhaps we should make this a cross-module meta bug about exposing PS'es, CS'es, and LS'es for boxes?

No, to me a META bug is about a feature. And we have Calc-UX, AFAIR.

> and file the other issues individually?
Yes, if needed.

Please double-check first. Text boxes use a drawing style. And I get startled by "comment style".

META bugs is about tracking any set of related bugs. But - this could be a sub-meta-bug of Calc-UX.

Text boxes use a "Drawing Style" for the _outer_ features of the box. With the box, there are paragraphs, there are lists, and there is text (= characters). And those need Paragraph Styles, List Styles, and Character Styles. 

I never said "comment style".... comments are basically boxes, one should be able to apply Drawing Style's to them; or possibly have a "structural drawing style" which they're stuck with.
