      Anybody know what picking this blank choice is supposed to do?

      If I pick it, it seems to set the font size to 10, but the box doesn’t say 10, it’s just, well…blank.

        In the default color theme, the font size is 10, from this theme all the starting font sizes go. (stylers.model.xml)
        I set the font size for myself 16

          My font size is 10 and the field is not empty.

            So choosing the “blank” choice means choosing the default, and that default is 10?

            It seems less than intuitive to have a “blank” choice, but okay.

              Don’t know, if it is not set, the default is used - sounds right to me.

                Maybe my problem with it is that nothing identifies what the default is? :-)

                  but documenting everything inside a config dialog seems unpractical
                  and in the end, it isn’t needed at all.
                  I mean, if the text is to small I’m going to chance the font size anyway,
                  regardless which value it is.
                  But on the other side, if the default is 10 then I could have selected it.
                  Hmmm, I guess it is like with the mouse and keyboard users.
                  One prefer this, the others that.
                  Personally I prefer the non-set version as it shows that I haven’t changed it. (I guess that is really the only benefit).

                    Perhaps this whole thread is pointless because I didn’t check the real documentation before asking. :-)

                      Maybe but I have no idea whether this is documented at all :-D
