Created attachment 204349 [details] Style preview box in LO 26.2 nightly, GTK3, in Dark mode The style preview box renders style names, in the relevant styles, within rectangles, within the box, for the user to select. The rectangle for rendering the style name is not very large, and the style name may well exceed it if the style mandates a large font size. It stands to reason, therefore, that the placement of the style name within the rectangle will maximize the use of space: Either: * Placing the rendered name's center in the rectangle center; or * Place the start of the style name very close to the starting edge of the rectangle. (Note I said start, note left edge; the style name may be in an RTL script like Arabic or Hebrew.) but - that's not what happens. It seems that the the start of the style name is placed at a very generous distance away from the rectangle start, so that, typically, it reaches well beyond the corresponding point on the other side of the rectangle center. See attached (partial) screenshot. Build: Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: cf56ab4c9e29cb076c3f986a75ade58d997cb43c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US PS - Collabore Office 25.4.7.2 seems to suffer from the same issue.

For sure there is a limit up to the size grows. Likewise it happens on the classic dropdown or the Stylist. Besides, less space to at the start is fine. I wonder if we really need both, the styled form and the attribute-less name (Default Paragraph Style is not Default anymore). Could imagine an on/off option in the context menu. The inner rectangles have no margin in my view (Qt) making the white bar with text merge with the one right-hand. For comparison (not as prototype!) I attach the expanded styles picker from OnlyOffice under Linux.

This bug is only about the placement of the rendered style name within the rectangle - and it's just a bug rather than a design choice IMO. > The inner rectangles have no margin in my view (Qt) making the white bar > with text merge with the one right-hand. Really? For me, with VCLs kf5 and qt6, there _is_ a margin between adjacent inner rectangles.
