            Bug ID: 126278
           Summary: Show in Styles sidebar only use specific styles
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI

Description:
Styles are very powerfull for office suited also in LibreOffice (writer in
special) the styles sidebar is very powerfull. The problem with powerfull stuff
is, that it can be also confuse for users that use styles not regular.

By default in the styles sidebar the default filter is Hierarchical (drop down
menu on bottom).

For example in an empty files Writer offers 122 Paragraph Styles to select
(which are grouped in a treeview). From this 122 styles there are very common
styles like header 1 - 10, title, subtitle, ... (styles that are also in the
styles menubar section). But there are also styles that are needed for very
specific or software internal stuff like signature, Addressee and Sender (which
were used for Envelopes only). MSO offers you to show recommended styles (by
default setting). As it's very difficult to define recommended styles (you need
an additional GUI configure that the user can change it), I would say show the
user ALL Styles (as it is now) BUT for styles that are used for specific
toppics like Addressee and Sender were use only if you use the envelope dialog,
... this content related styles will be shown ONLY if you have this content in
your document. So it will be an mix between All Styles and Applied Styles.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. writer -> styles sidebar
2. Hierarchical selection

Actual Results:
style sidebar show by default an mix between styles that will be used for
software internal stuff and styles the user should select from.

Expected Results:
Show all styles in Hierarchical form, but for styles that are related to
specific tasks show the styles only if the task is available in the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
