1. Create a new presentation 2. Draw two+ shapes (rectangle, circle, etc.) on the slide 3. Right click on one of them -> "Edit Style" 4. Don't notice the title bar says "Default" in it 5. Change something, e.g. "Area" and pick a color Expected: the background of the shape you clicked on changes Actual: the backgrounds of all shapes change I suggest something like "Edit default style" for the context menu or something like that. (I realize that there's an "Area" entry in the context menu, but when I was looking for how to change the background color I saw Edit Style first and clicked to see if it was in there.) This bug would be a lot more minor if it weren't for the fact that you can't undo the change in step 5, which I will be filing another bug for presently.
Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.3, Win 8.1. I agree it would be good to make it more clear what EDIT STYLE means, that new users are not confused. Maybe the suggestion from the Description with "Edit default style" is already a good proposal. For me it sounds very good.
Good idea. thanks. What about maybe "Edit style Default"
To be sure I add keyword needsUXEval to discuss this with the broader UX team.
"Edit _default_ style" doesn't work for other styles like "Filled Blue" (and the actual style name is shown in the dialog caption). Is the command/label really so uncommon that we need to device from Writer? Wouldn't say so.
Edit Style edit the actual style but it would be awesome to get styles support in sd (impress and draw) like in writer where you can add different styles via context menu. The problem is, that you can't have usefull predefined styles in draw/writer the styles for context menu should be dynamic (show used styles in an selection list and edit style for edit the existing style) For me Edit styles is in draw and impress very confusing as well, but I don't think renaming would be the solution. I suggest to have the layout like in writer where you have defined styles via context menu, menubar, ...
(In reply to andreas_k from comment #5) > Edit Style edit the actual style but it would be awesome to get styles > support in sd... Different topic. You have Drawing Styles right now and that's what you modify with "Edit Style" where the request here is to make it more clear on what style it is effective.
We talked about this in the design meeting and agree on WF. "Edit Style" is used across the modules for changing the object's style. The confusion in this case comes likely from the fact that shapes have a drawing style, which is changed with this command.
