            Bug ID: 128469
           Summary: "Reset" and "Standard" buttons: confusing names
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.7.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: johnsmithbeatles at gmail.com

Description:
The style window have 2 buttons with very similar names: Standard and Reset.

* Standard: resets the settings of the style to those of parent style
* Reset: works very similar to Cancel. The only difference that it doesn't
close the window.

To my opinion, the Reset button isn't really useful/necessary (Wikipedia:
Occam's razor) for the users. Moreover, its name conflicts with Standard.

* There are 2 possible ways to change it:

  a) Keep both buttons, but give them better names. Probably:

     Reset    --> Revert
     Standard --> Reset

  b) Remove "Reset" button and rename "Standard" to "Reset".
