--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Some issues here: 
1) the "Synchronize Ends" checkbox is misleading - a lock icon between the two
controls would be better; or we disable one of the controls if synchronize is
checked
2) checking synchronize has no immediate effect on the two endings, meaning 0.2
/ 0.3 are still different unless one is changed - this might be solved by #1
3) setting an arrow via sidebar ends up with a different size - since
synchronize is not active by default this is not wrong but inconvenient; we
should use 0.3 cm by default

In a nutshell: move the checkbox between the controls and make it a toggle
icon, adjust the values when synchronize is checked, and change the default at
the sidebar.

Code pointers: cui/uiconfig/ui/linetabpage.ui and
cui/source/tabpages/tpline.cxx for the dialog; the sidebar is a bit tricky to
find, I'd start at .uno:LineEndStyle (called by the sidebar control) pointing
to SID_ATTR_LINEEND_STYLE which might be related to SID_ATTRIBUTES_LINE.. but
at this point I stopped digging the code. Maybe Hossein finds the place where
these 0.2cm are defined.
