The only thing I see missing is a tool tip that should pop up when hovering the mouse pointer over the drop-down list at the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window. The "categories" in the Styles and Formatting window are the five types of styles used in Writer. Those categories are represented by icons at the top of the window. Selecting one of the icons displays a list of styles that have been defined for the category. That list can be modified by selecting a filter from the drop-down list below the list of styles. "Hierarchical" is one of those filters.
Again: it should not be a 'filter'. It is a natural structure in the data and should be organized this way in all of the views. In other words, "f(g(x))" , not "either f(x) or g(x)" . More literally, "view(hierarchy(list x))". Or we could state this with pointers to functions, since the "view" function would not be a single function but a class of function, whereas hierarchy is a single function, so more like
and we pass in a different function as *view depending on which view we want.
If one is concerned about the sheer number of styles in the list, and wishes to use the + / - collapsing control button, that should be the default, but it should be uniform across platforms. In Windows it uses [+] and [-] boxes, but on Mac it uses > triangles, which are incongruous with the rest of the GUI.
