<pre>Currently it's not obvious to users which are the ranges of application of a
page style: when user naively selects something and applies a page style
(expecting the selection to become placed on the selected page style), the
actually changed range is (unexpectedly for the uneducated user) greater,
specifically from the previous page-break-with-page-style to the next
page-break-with-page-style (in case when they are absent in the document, the
whole document will be reformatted with the style). Even for a user who knows
how the page styles work, it's not obvious where the page style application
range starts and stops - because the page breaks all look identical, and unless
currently applied page styles have obvious differences (and the different page
style is actually selected in the break), one would have to check every break
properties to find out, or apply-and-check.
The proposal is to add some decorations to the blue dashed line that symbolizes
the page breaks, that would show the page break's additional properties:
specifically, that page style is selected here; and also (for completeness)
that page number is set here.</pre>
