--- Comment #11 from Maxim Monastirsky <momonasmon at gmail.com> ---
IMHO an Underline dropdown, if anything, should show underline related options
(similar to what we have in the sidebar right now, and what MS Word has). The
ability to easily choose a dropdown line style, without going through the
dialog, could be very useful feature.

In general I don't like the idea of a dropdown with commands that are not a
variation of the main button. Dropdown items should either belong to the same
toggle group as the main button, so that they can replace each other (like text
alignment, or shapes), or there should be no main button (which is not an
option for underline as it's much used). Other then that it's too confusing,
and also highly undiscoverable for a new user, that would never ever think of
looking for strike through under "Underline", unless he already knows it's
there.

Also, if there is no enough room for strike through on the toolbar, it could be
a hidden button by default. That's exactly the purpose of hidden buttons, to
have there much useful buttons, when there is no enough room for them by
default, so that a user could easily add them, without wasting time with the
toolbar customization dialog. Rarely used buttons, shouldn't be in the toolbar
anyway, even as hidden buttons.
