Dialogs: add paragraph indentation and alignment to Modify Style (#5833) - #5902
Incorporates paragraph formatting options into the Modify Style dialog for paragraph and linked styles.
Changes
Adds a Paragraph tab alongside Font in Dialog::ModifyStyle (character styles keep character-only options).
Exposes paragraph alignment (left, center, right, justify), indentation (left, right, first/hanging), and line spacing controls matching the Paragraph dialog.
Updates styles.modify call to dispatch full paragraph properties (align, indents, spacing) upon confirmation.
Includes indentRight and indentFirst in style formatting inspection (own_format).
Adds regression test verifying that updating paragraph formatting via Modify Style resolves on styles and footnote stories without requiring manual per-paragraph formatting.
The Modify Style dialog now includes paragraph controls for alignment, left, right, and first-line indents, and line spacing. Character styles continue to show font controls without paragraph settings.
Bug Fixes
Style changes now update affected paragraphs throughout the document. Unchanged line spacing and indents are preserved, including character-unit indents during font-only edits. Right-to-left paragraph alignment and indents retain their logical values when edited, and unchanged properties continue to inherit from the base style.
Style format descriptions now include explicitly set right and first-line indents.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The Modify Style dialog now provides paragraph formatting controls for paragraph styles. It initializes and submits changed alignment, indents, spacing, and line spacing. Engine style updates process supplied indents, and style-format inspection includes set right and first indents.
Changes: Modify Style paragraph formatting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Dialog state and initialization crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/styles.rs
The dialog stores and initializes alignment, indents, line spacing, character-style status, and tab state. Both style-editing entry points retain the returned dialog and set its back field.
Paragraph controls and style updates crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/dispatch.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/para/styles.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/para/lists.rs
Paragraph styles have Font and Paragraph tabs. The Paragraph tab edits alignment, indents, and spacing. Saving submits changed properties and converts indents to points. Style updates cancel direct character indents for supplied indent fields. Format inspection includes set right and first indents.
Behavior tests and change records crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests.rs, ROADMAP.md, docs/ui-parity.md
Tests check paragraph formatting, line-spacing behavior, inherited values, bidi mapping, and character-unit indents. The roadmap and UI parity history record the dialog update.
The Modify Style dialog now edits paragraph alignment, indents and line spacing, and saves only the fields the user changed. The remaining gap is narrow: a style with exact or at-least line spacing cannot be switched to single spacing through the dialog. The existing spacing is kept, so nothing is lost and the issue is safe to follow up after merge.

Explanation
The title names the main change: paragraph indentation and alignment are added to the Modify Style dialog. The raw summary and objectives confirm this. The dialog changes in dialogs.rs, dispatch.rs, styles.rs, and the tests all support the title. The title does not mention line spacing, RTL handling, or the footnote motivation, but it does not need to cover every detail. The PR number in the title (#5833) differs from the PR objectives (#5902), which refers to the linked issue, so this is a minor metadata mismatch, not a title-content problem.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#5833] The issue asks that paragraph options (indentation, first line, line spacing) be editable through the style, so footnote and endnote paragraphs need no per-paragraph edits. Evidence at the reviewed head, from the whole-PR summary: (1) crates/engine/src/cmd/para/styles.rs, read at head in the earlier review, applies supplied paragraph properties to the style, cancels conflicting character-unit indents, and updates all affected paragraphs. (2) crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs adds align, left, right, first, line, and bidi state to Dialog::ModifyStyle. (3) crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/dispatch.rs adds a Paragraph tab that exposes alignment, left/right/first indents, and line spacing for paragraph styles. (4) crates/engine/src/cmd/para/lists.rs reports indent_right and indent_first in own_format. The summary lists a test for footnote-paragraph inheritance in crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests.rs. The test bodies could not be read in this review, so test coverage rests on the summary. The issue does not require tests. No coding requirement from #5833 is shown as unmet. Number format, numbering, and start-at are not in the issue and are not changed.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The dialog, dispatch, styles.rs, lists.rs, dialogs/styles.rs, and test changes all connect to paragraph formatting in the Modify Style dialog for #5833. The ROADMAP.md change is the open item. The whole-PR summary says ROADMAP.md adds a revision-history row for layout.fitOnePage, a page-condensing feature that does not relate to Modify Style paragraph formatting. That is a documentation-only change (+2/-1). The ROADMAP.md diff could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout, so the row content and its scope cannot be verified from source. The docs/ui-parity.md edits and the ROADMAP last-reviewed entry relate to this feature. The earlier assessment did not note the fitOnePage row. Two description mismatches exist and do not change scope: the PR description says styles.modify dispatches full paragraph properties, while the summary says apply_modify_style submits only changed properties.
Resolution
Provide readable ROADMAP.md diff evidence (merge base to head) that shows whether the layout.fitOnePage revision-history row is part of this PR. If it is present, remove that row or move it to a separate PR, because it is unrelated to #5833. If it is absent, this assessment can pass.

Compare line with initial_line exactly, or use a changed flag.
A tolerance of 0.001 ignores a small edit, such as 1.0005 to 1.0. The non_multiple_line branch then keeps the Exactly or AtLeast rule. The DragValue can give a small step, so a user can see a change that is not saved. A changed flag set when the control reports a change is more reliable.

Request changes. All three P2s come from reading the code; I haven't run it.
The OK handler in dialogs/dispatch.rs saves fields the user didn't touch. It always sends align, indentLeft, indentRight, indentFirst, spaceBefore and spaceAfter. Scenario: Heading 2 is based on Normal, which has a 36pt left indent. Open Modify, change only the font size, press OK. Heading 2 now stores its own indentLeft=36 and alignment, so later edits to Normal's indent no longer reach it. The mixed set m is built but never read, and the values the dialog opened with aren't kept. Please store the opening values and send only the fields that changed, as apply_paragraph does for the Paragraph dialog (#1346). This is also CodeRabbit's open Major.
Every OK clears character-unit indents. Because of item 1, cancel_char_indents (styles.rs:125) runs on every OK and sets *_chars = Some(0.0). A style that uses character-based indents (firstLineChars and so on) loses them after an unrelated font edit. Sending only the changed fields fixes this too.
Right-to-left styles get swapped. The dialog shows alignment and indents in visual left/right terms (rp.align.visual(rp.bidi), visual_indents()), but OK sends them back unconverted as logical values. For a bidi style, Left/Right and the left/right indents swap on OK even when nothing was edited. Please convert back using the style's bidi on save.
Please add tests for these cases:
Open the dialog and press OK with no edits: the style's own properties stay unchanged, and a derived style still follows its base.
A right-to-left style round-trips unchanged.
A style with character indents survives a font-only edit.
The branch conflicts with main in docs only (ROADMAP.md, docs/ui-parity.md).
Dialog::modify_style in crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs (lines 949-964) already fills start. This block builds the same map again with the same keys when start is empty. The two copies must stay in sync with the comparisons in apply_modify_style. If someone adds a field or changes a value's format in only one copy, the save compares against the wrong baseline. Unchanged values would then be written, or real edits would be lost.
Move the map construction into one function, for example modify_style_start(&Dialog) -> Map. Call it from both places.

Keep single spacing distinct from non-multiple spacing.
If a style uses Exactly(24), this branch initializes both line and its baseline to 1.0. If the user requests single spacing, apply_modify_style sees no numeric change and retains Exactly(24). The consumer ignores non_multiple_line and initial_line.
Provide an explicit way to select Multiple(1.0), and compare the spacing rule as well as its value. Keep an untouched non-multiple setting unchanged.

Add Paragraph tab to Modify Style with alignment, left/right/first-line
indentation, and line spacing options so footnote text and other paragraph
styles can configure paragraph formatting once without formatting each
paragraph manually.
Preserve non-multiple line spacing (Exactly, At Least) when editing
paragraph styles in Modify Style unless the user explicitly edits line
spacing. Save only edited fields on OK to maintain base style inheritance
and character-unit indents, convert visual RTL coordinates back to logical
values, satisfy docstring coverage on touched functions, and add regression
tests.
