This causes a huge problem later when you want to change levels or other organizational settings and suddenly see seemingly unrelated styles are being "randomly" changed as a consequence (of course it is not random, and they are inheriting properties from the style you just changed, but you cannot see that). This, in my opinion, defeats the whole purpose of the hierarchical view. With a clean hierarchical view, as is suggested in the OP, and proper branch lines that visually connect and separate each branch from others, for the Applied Styles, one can easily see and understand what is going on.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
