> Selecting objects in the Navigator is with double click.

But not having a certain use case in mind, just for sake of some unneeded
functionality (it violates any guideline for no good reason). We made a
proposal to change the behavior of the navigator in general at
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/07/31/how-the-navigator-may-support-object-handling-in-libreoffice-draw/
(the styles list is not the navigator tree, though).

> What do you mean with the last part, drop right click access?

Today, you can modify a style that is not active by right clicking the entry.
With single selection this could still be possible, but likely adds a lot of
coding effort and makes not much sense, workflow wise.

What do you mean with unify? Dropdowns are by default a collapsed version of
lists. The suggested single-click activation makes the indicator obsolete since
there is no chance to have another selection than the active one. But again, I
think we should aim for a clear and simple workflow and drop unnecessary
functions. And in my opinion the applied vs. selected differentiation is one of
those.
