[libreoffice-design] Line Spacing Button

So far, in LibreOffice, there are three buttons for line spacing. These are
1, 1.5, and 2.0 . However, I feel that since these are all performing
similar task, and will never be used simultaneously, they need to be
changed from their button form. Alternatives are, something like a drop
down menu (like the one for font size), two-buttoned approach (Increase
linespacing and decrease linespacing) or a slider bar which you can adjust
to change the line spacing value.

In my opinion, the slider menu will be most ideal.

However, looking at the negatives, a slider menu occupies more space than
buttons. For this, we could instead have a line spacing button, and on
click, it reveals a vertical slider which can then be adjusted to set the
linespacing.
