<pre>You make it really easy for people doing QA. Please don't point at some random
website and say "read what this person wrote" but rather bring up a clear use
case and support your finding by the referenced url.
I totally disagree with the author on how usable LibreOffice's styles are
compared to what Microsoft has. And in particular he is wrong with the
advantage of single over double-click. But that's a different topic.
Question of "recently used styles" is the topic here and he argues: "Say you
want to apply STYLE4 to a paragraph (which currently has default settings). You
move the keyboard cursor onto the new paragraph, and boom, the styles list
jumps to the very beginning." There are plenty of options to filter the list,
eg. used styles which makes the scrolling pretty easy. But ultimately he
doesn't get the point of paragraph styles and the Next Style attribute. If you
create a citation, for example, you definitely don't want to continue in this
style but switch back to Text Body for the next paragraph. That renders the
request to a WF for me.
Another argument: "Recently used" is a concept we have on various places, for
example font name. In case of styles it would spam the list however and break
the original sequence. Consider something like Title > Sub title > Heading 1 >
Heading 2 > Text Body > Citation > Text Body... and now put these on top of the
dropdown list. Alternatively we could introduce another filter for the sidebar
which shuffles the styles. Sounds also not like good usability.
My take => WF</pre>
