Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7860
Font/Style selection enhancements
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:04 UTC
The Apply Style and Font Name button bar entries could be enhanced in this way: * Apply Style should show all styles * Both should "split" the menu into a "Used" and "All" parts; where the "Used" part would be like the curretn Apply Style, and the "All" would display all possible choices. A single line would suffice to separate the two. Poor ASCII art representation: +---------- +-+ |Heading 1 |v| +----------+-+ |Default | |Text body | |Heading | |Heading 1 | +------------+ |............| |............| |............| ... (all the styles) * The actual selection box should be a "QuickSelect" entry; thus it should be editable, and starting typing it would "autocomplete" to the closest match. (Actually this final suggestion should be implemented in all listboxes ...)
Reassigned to Bettina.

Still valid for 2.4.1 Editable listboxes with completion has been implemented, but the proposal to implement Used vs All Styles in Apply Style (and same for Font Name) buttons are still valid.
Especially the seperation "used fonts" vs. "all fonts" in the font selection pull down menu sounds very useful to me. I have been missing this for a while. MS Word does this much better (already in Word 97). This is not implemented in OO3.1.0 yet. Voted for it.
*** Issue 7860 has been confirmed by votes. ***
I am missing a choice to use recently used fonts in the font selection drop-down menu. It should contain either all the fonts used in the document or the recently used fonts, or both. This is valid for 3.1.1 (9420)
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
