--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
In general I would make the sidebar way more simple. All controls that are not
used _frequently_ (>10 times per session) belong to the respective dialog, only
the most needed attributes should be accessible via sidebar. 

The contextually changing sidebar deck is a source of confusion and bad faith
in the application.

Lines are part of graphical objects and by that not _frequently_ used in
Writer. And part of a contextually changing deck. I'm aware that a special deck
require user interaction to modify the _properties_, which is also wrong.

After this disclaimer I agree with the advantage of labels. Furthermore it's
hard to understand for users why the interaction is different depending on the
places of controls. Consistency is prime (after simplicity).
