--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Confused, are you upset about the "reveal" triangles on Tool Bars (TB), or that
there is a mix of split button behavior--some split buttons may apply a default
action, others will simply display a list of related actions, a dialog, or a
GUI widget?

This is all core LibreOffice core GUI and UX.

I find no fault with the mix of behaviors--they are self documenting, and they
serve to compress related groups of TB controls onto a single button control
indicated by the reveal button. Allowing function while reducing the count of
exposed controls.

The "reveal" triangle on button actions is no different than an ellipsis "..."
appended to a menu entry showing its action launches a dialog.

WFM and NAB.
