Description:
UI: Make Strikethrough & overline a split button in tabbed/regular toolbar

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Writer
2. Format -> Character -> Font effects
3. Strikethrough has a dropdown with different settings (not exposed in the toolbar)
4. In the toolbar you have only one option.. 

This more or less follow-up on bug 139701

Same holds true for overline feature (which disabled by default in the toolbar) (but present in character dialog)

Actual Results:
Strikethrough has no dropdown (like underline has after bug 139701 got fixed) 

Expected Results:
Maybe go for consistency?


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Sounds reasonable, but low prio. Strikethrough would have just a few options.

No, this just adds more UI garbage for all users to dig through.
In the very rare use case where easy access to Overline is definitely needed, the user can make the Overline button visible on the toolbar.

I didn't request to enable Overline by default.. only an option to have dropdown button to expose the different options if someone puts Overline in the toolbar

Primarily scope was an arrow down for 'Strikethrough'. I mentioned Overline for consistency reasons

I agree with Dave. -1. If strikethrough ALREADY had a drop-down, then I would have no problems adding it. But there is no compelling reason to add this.

AFAIK, MS Office doesn't have this feature, so it shouldn't gain more prominence.

More nay than yay, let's resolve WF because of KISS.
