            Bug ID: 112977
           Summary: Different Terms for Same Styles in Menu and Sidebar
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

In Writer for the following styles different terms are used in the menu Styles:
(1) Paragraph style “Default Style”, menu: “Default Paragraph”
(2) Character style “Default Style”, menu: “Default Character”
(3) List style “List 1”, menu: “Bullet List”
(4) List style “Numbering 1”, menu: “Number List”
(5) List style “Numbering 4”, menu: “Roman List”

This was confusing for me. I think the same terms should be used in order to
avoid a confusion.

A problem exists, if the same terms are used in different style categories, in
this case “Default Style”. This also may occur if a user adds additional styles
to the menu with the customize dialogue. E. g. the style term “Numbering 1” is
used for paragraph and also for list styles. In order to distinguish these
styles the style category could be put in brackets after the style name in the
menu, e. g. “Default Style (paragraph)” or “Numbering 1 (list)”. Another
solution may be to create sub-menus for each style category in the Style menu.
