Description: When editing a child style (e.g., Heading 1), the UI shows property values, but it doesn't indicate which properties are inherited live from a parent and which are explicitly set. This forces users to manually test inheritance by changing parent styles, and makes it hard or near impossible to construct a proper dynamic style structure in a document. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create Heading style with Liberation Sans 14pt 2. Create Heading 1 that inherits from Heading 3. Set Heading 1 to 24pt bold (explicit) but leave font as Liberation Sans 4. Open Heading 1 properties dialogue 5. Observe: UI shows "Font: Liberation Sans" but doesn't indicate if this is explicit or inherited 6. Change Heading's font to Arial 7. Heading 1 updates to Arial (proving font was inheriting) 8. Problem: No visual indication in UI of this inheritance status Actual Results: - All properties look the same regardless of inheritance status - Users must guess or manually test Expected Results: - Inherited properties should be visually distinguished (grayed, italic, "inherited" label, etc.) - Tooltip or indicator showing "Inherited from: Heading" - Maybe a "Reset to inherited" button per property or a lock icon for explicit overrides Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 580(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: nb-NO (nb_NO.UTF-8); UI: en-GB 25.8.4-1 Calc: threaded
Hogne, thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please attach a sample file as that make it easier for us to reproduce the bug? Thank you => NEEDINFO
The tab "General" (former "Organizer") has a section "Contains". It lists all properties, that are actually set in this style. The wish to make it visible in the other tabs, whether a property is set or inherit, is tracked in bug 88559. Resetting to inheritance per property is tracked in bug 89826. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 88559 ***
