--- Comment #34 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Here is a first, small step.  Just the "Reset" button for 
the Character and Character Style dialog. 

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/110151

The patch adds a tooltip (and an extended tooltip) for the "Reset" button. 

Tooltip:  Changes made in this tab are returned to settings when opened.

Extended tooltip: Return any changes made on the tab shown here to the settings
that were present when this dialog was opened.

Best to look at and judge them in their natural setting (i.e., the actual
Character and Character Style) dialog box.

For the "character style" dialog, there is a slight inaccuracy in the tooltip
(because it is only true if "Apply" has not been used). 

Was not able to find a simple elaboration to the tooltip that did not make it
too complicated. Meanwhile, a resolution to bug 130261 will make the tooltip
accurate; while a resolution to bug 130264 should improve understanding of when
it is relevant to use.

After possible objections and alternative suggestions are resolved, I will add
the same tooltips to the Paragraph and Paragraph Style dialogs, then continue
with changing "Standard" to "Set to Parent" (with appropriate tooltips).
