Description Christian Lehmann 2017-10-25 09:10:40 UTC

Description:
The Drawing Object Properties bar in my German Writer 5.4.2.2 has (among others) these two symbols:
- one pot with a downwards arrow head which says "Füllfarbe" (filling color),
- another pot beside a colored bar and a downwards arrow head, which also says "Füllfarbe".
- If I change the first, the second changes likewise.
- If I change the second, nothing else happens.
This is relatively confusing:
- If these menu items have distinct functionality, then render this clear in their handling and assign them different names.
- If they have the same functionality, merge them.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a graphics figure to show Drawing Object Properties bar.


Actual Results:  
An inconsistent menu bar appeared.

Expected Results:
Assign distinct functions to distinct symbols and merge identical functions into one symbol.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Yes both were essential in 4.4, the second control at that time didnt give access to the color picker widget pulldown, but starting from 5.0 the first one became redundant.
