--- Comment #13 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Sidebar shows 8 (random?) steps plus custom in pt, shape > line dialogs use
units from options or pt for any border and do not have presets.

Would also expect consistency but apparently we just have to rework shapes. I
wouldn't mix presets and exact value, the sidebar dropdown could benefit from a
few less items - and nicer naming like hairline 0pt (=0.05pt), thin 0.5, medium
0.75, large 1.5, extra large 2.5 (I'm switching from thickness to size...
"thick" sounds weird; we could use XS,S,M,L,XL too). No direct input of values
via sidebar (pretty sure this idea based on the KISS principle is not widely
accepted).

About units I prefer "micro-management" (units can be changed per control, see
bug 72662), while other prefer better and maybe more default units or recommend
to define a unit per function. In case of line thickness I would stick to
point.
