%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---

Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 + GeForce GTX 670

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

r60379

- Short description of error ---

It's confusing that the Outliner always shows LineStyle even when not using either Freestyle or BI renderer.
I think a line set shouldn't be included in the default settings and should be added manually (or automatically) when using Freestyle.

BTW, LineStyle cannot be unlinked by right click menu on the Outliner. I get a warning "Not yet implemented" instead.
Tamito-san, did you forget to implement this?

%%%Fix for the outliner issue was committed in trunk revision 60756. Thanks for the problem report.

The unlink operation on line style data blocks is in fact intended not to work by purpose. It is recalled that every line set has a line style associated to it, and the link between them cannot be removed (in contrast, a world data block for example can be unlinked from a scene). I think the present warning message (i.e., "Not yet implemented") is inappropriate. Something like "Cannot unlink" would make more sense to me. There are many other examples of data blocks that cannot be unlinked (e.g., camera and lamp data blocks), and the same "not yet implemented" warning is displayed too. For consistency the same warning message updates should be applied for all data blocks that cannot be unlinked. A better solution is to disable the Unlink operation of the outliner menu when the operation is not supported.%%%

%%%If Freestyle is enabled, the line style still can appear even when not using BI render, though Freestyle needs the BI render.

I agree with you about the unlink issue and added it to the TODO list: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Editors#Outliner

%%%Thanks again for testing. A fix was committed in trunk revision 60763 to check if the Blender Internal is used.%%%
