This does occur in LibreOffice too. The problem is the "Format Paintbrush" affects the whole paragraph instead of just the part you want to change. It always happens when the font is changed from the default "Times New Roman" to something else e.g. Arial.
Example: you have some text that's red, highlighted, a different size and bold and you want to apply this elsewhere. You select that formatted text and then use the "Format Paintbrush" to apply it somewhere else in the document. When you do that, the whole paragraph changes instead of just the part you changed with the Format Paintbrush. What changes is the font in the paragraph - it changes to "Times New Roman" instead of being left alone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525717 Title: Format paintbrush bug. Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org When you wish to copy the formatting of some text onto another piece of text using the "format paintbrush", it nearly always changes the whole paragraph! I want it to change the formatting of what I apply it to, not ruin the whole paragraph lol. Example: I have some text that is BOLD, SIZE 14 and DARK BLUE. I wish to apply this formatting to a few words. When I do this, the whole paragraph changes into the default font (Times New Roman, Size 12). Note to OpenOffice.org: this happens in the Windows version of OpenOffice too.
