OK, so agree there is a UX design issue with the Line Arrangement 'Presets:'
widgets. For bug 167279 an accessible event focus was recently tweaked.

With os/DE Automatic theme in a Dark sense, it is difficult to identify the
preset button that has been selected. The selected button does get an outline
border when selected, but very thin and in Dark sense almost invisible.

Not sure it can be done, but on the same Page Style panel the 'Shadow Style'
gets a button outline. And when Tools -> Options -> Appearance 'Enable
application theming' is checked enabled the button outline will respond to the
application theme's Accent Color as set (rather than os/DE provided color).

So an enhancement might be to use the same button outline for the preset button
with active selection. It might be a problem as the presets now trigger change
in the border preview widget, don't think that feature should be dropped.
