Bug ID: 159794
Summary: inconsistency in backspacing through indents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Consider the following scenario:
* create two paragraphs of text with visually different styles e.g. a heading
followed by default
* set non-zero first line indent for the second paragraph
(format-paragraph-indents&spacing)
* position cursor at the beginning of the second paragraph
* press backspace
The result is that the first line indent is removed. Now repeat, but instead of
'first line' indent apply 'before text' indent. The result is wildly different
- the second paragraph is appended to the first assuming its style. I find this
behaviour inconsistent, both 'first line' and 'before text' indents should be
treated the same way. I prefer the first line approach - if all indents are
sequentially removed, but the main point is consistency. This is especially
confusing for one-line paragraphs when you just can't tell without a ruler what
kind of indent it is and don't know how it will react to backspace.
