--- Comment #7 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
The icons in the top menu are used to indicate that something is on, they are
not actual tick boxes like in a dialog.

The design of the top menu is that clicking one element executes an action, and
then closes. I don't see this changing any time soon, the behaviour is standard
and I can't think of other apps in which the menu remains open after having
clicked on an option. (Can you think of one?)

Alternatives to using the menu repeatedly:
- toolbar, which you can customise
- Character dialog (accessed through top menu or context menu)
- If you often need to apply the same set of direct formatting options, you
should create a character style that has them all

I believe these are sufficient. Agreeing with Miguel Angel in closing as "won't
fix".
(Maybe better icons could be used if they look like actual tickboxes, but I
think that comes from your desktop environment, not LO. Mine look like this on
GNOME: ✓)

The UX team can weigh in.
