Description Stefan Knorr (astron) 2014-02-03 15:38:15 UTC
1. Open the Styles panel (press F11).
2. Find the rightmost the button on the top of the panel.
3. Hover over this button with the mouse. See that it reads "Create style
   from selection"

A better inscription for this would probably just be "Styles", since really this menu is a bit of a catch-all, containing "new style from selection," "update style," and "load styles."

Also, its icon is not very speaking (or accurate, with the paragraph sign in it). Not sure what the solution to that is, but quite possibly a generic gear.

Btw, the exact same bug exists in the sidebar (View > Sidebar) implementation of the Styles panel. Probably needs to be fixed separately.
Comment 2 Jorendc 2014-06-13 07:56:20 UTC
Repro and I agree. Exact/current tooltip is "New style from selection".

Kind regards,
Joren

Still says New style from selection. But what would be the best tooltip text? "Styles" is a bit vague in the context..

Heiko, can you look at it?
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2019-01-22 08:47:01 UTC
Rather than just "Style" I'd go with "Manage Styles". However, the current tooltip makes it clear that all function underneath (new, update, load) belong to the selection (well at least new and update). We could also rename the actual commands... 

(On the agenda for the next meeting)

What we actually see, is the tooltip from the top item in the menu.
That would make sense if it was a split button, that starts the action on click, and opens the menu on the arrow position or keep mouse pressed.

For the tool tip: "Styles actions"  ?
Comment 9 Heiko Tietze 2019-01-24 09:32:33 UTC
Let's go with 
* "New Style from Selection" -> "Styles actions" 
** "New Style..." -> "New Style from Selection"
** "Update Style" -> "Update Selected Style"
** (insert a separator before "Load Styles...")
