--- Comment #5 from Caolán McNamara <caolanm at redhat.com> ---
What is listed in the "to" depends on what is selected in "vertical". If you
start as "anchored to character" and "vertical" of "from top" there are four
options for "to". Change to "top" then the distance greys out and there are six
options for "to". The "to" depends directly on the "vertical" setting rather
than the sequence of anchor changes.

Though, changing the anchor changes what options are available for "vertical"
and thus what's available for "to", so in the example sequence of comment #1

2. Click the drop down at 'Vertical' containing 'Margin' Notice 4 entry's
  At this point the "Vertical" is showing "From top" as one of six options
(where Top is another possibility) and the "to" dropdown is showing "Margin" as
one of four options depending on "From top"
3. Switch anchor to 'as character'
  At this point "Vertical" has four options, "From top" is not available so
something else is picked instead, "Top" in my case and then "to" has three
dependent options for "Top"
4. Switch anchor to 'to character' again -> 6 entry's
  At this point "Vertical" remains as "Top" because "Vertical" has "Top" as a
possibility and "to" shows one of the six dependent options.

Taking as a given the differing availability of anchoring hori/vert options for
each anchor mode and then then differing dependent to targets depending on that
I don't see an easy "fix" for the UI.

FWIW: The code for this notebook page is SwFramePage in
sw/source/ui/frmdlg/frmpage.cxx and the matching .ui is
sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/frmtypepage.ui
