Format selection button became considerably smaller in Chart toolbar in 5.0.x in compare to previous versions. To me and most probably to others as well this is nearly the only button regularly used in this toolbar,therefore it is very convenient to have it large and easy to hit with mouse click.

Current workaround is to customize toolbar and to make text besides icon visible. That would be enough to have option to set for this particular button text only view or to set no icon at all.

'Format Selection' used to be a text button and now its has changed to an icon button. The icon button is the same size as any icon button on a toolbar that users click, so i'm not sure that the situation has become less convenient.

By default we do not show the caption on toolbar buttons [1]. So why here? The function can be accessed per double click, context menu, and toolbar. Plenty of options. The issue will be solved with the extended toolbar (aka notebookbar), eventually.

"Do not add captions to tool bar buttons by default."

Hello!

I managed to survive with this issue by switching on captions. It is not nice looking, but pointing to the format selection button is much easier.

Good news. So I'm closing this ticket as WORKSFORME. But be sure the UX team will keep this issue in mind. Here is the blog post about "extended toolbars" https://smehrbrodt.wordpress.com/2015/11/24/improving-the-toolbars-in-libreoffice/
