            Bug ID: 87239
           Summary: Inconsistent look and operation of drop-down buttons
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: lowest
         Component: ux-advise
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski@hotmail.com
                CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org

The following tries to summarize some inconsistencies in drop-down "menu-like"
toolbar button panels. Although the priority is not high, making all such UI
elements behave consistently could somewhat improve the overall experience of
LO.

Pressing arrow next to "Font Color"/"Highlighting" toolbar button brings the
drop-down panel that has a caption, that can be used for dragging. When
dragged, it becomes a floating window. The drop-down (not draggged) stays on
screen while the main application window is resized/moved.

Pressing arrows of drawing toolbar buttons (say, "Basic Shapes") gives a
drop-down panel without caption; but it has double horizontal lines that
represent dragging area. Trying to resize/move main app window hides drop-down
(as expected).

Pressing arrow next to "Insert Table" button gives a drop-down with caption; it
behaves like draggable, but on release it disappears. Trying to resize/move
main app window hides drop-down (as expected).

Pressing arrow next to "Bullets On/Off" (or "Numbering On/Off") gives drop-down
without header/double lines, not draggable, no borders. Items have flat
appearance with thin black border on hover. Trying to resize/move main app
window hides drop-down (as expected).

Pressing arrow next to "Line Spacing" (recent versions) gives not draggable
drop-down with some border. Items look like 3D buttons on hover. Trying to
resize/move main app window hides drop-down (as expected).

Pressing arrow next to "Insert Field"/"Paste" gives not draggable drop-down
with some border. Items look like menu items (standard OS menu look;
system-defined highlight color, etc). Trying to resize/move main app window
hides drop-down (as expected).
