--- Comment #11 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com> ---
Bastian is right that there is a gap. Additionally to the styles list itself we
have also an issue when you single click an entry and go back to the text
without activating the selected style. The selection does not reflect the
effective style.

We have a number of options:

a) as proposed an icon to indicate what's currently effective; pro: flexible
and easy to implement, con: trust on the icon, still weird
b) the active style is highlighted differently to the selected item (an example
is 'New mockup' (perhaps with an ant street around the active style instead of
the gray background); pro: that's common behavior and often applied for active
selections; con: not so easy to implement
c) we apply the style on single click (and have Undo for the situation when
users don't know what was set before); pro: typical and intended behavior of a
list selection; con: nothing, but the right click for non-active selections
needs to be treated differently (guess we can drop this)

I vote for c), perhaps with the addition to temporarily apply the style when
the cursor hovers over a list item (that's by the way how Microsoft Word
handles this).
