Bug ID: 168306
Summary: When a previously saved .odg file is opened in
LibreOffice Draw, any line is selected, then under
“properties” the line “thickness” is selected, the
previously saved line thickness automatically changes
to 0.5.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.1.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Considering a line diagram is already created and saved in LibreOffice Draw as
.odg file, when the .odg is again opened in LibreOffice Draw to edit the
diagram, this particular issue happens. Suppose the previous diagram had a line
with Line Thickness 6 and then saved as .odg file and closed. Now if the .odg
file is again opened in LibreOffice Draw, when that line is selected and the
option “Line Thickness” is selected under “Properties”, the thickness suddenly
changes from 6 to 0.5 automatically even without selecting a particular
thickness.
The described problem does not happen if we do the changes in a particular
session before saving & closing the .odg file. Suppose, we create a new
drawing, insert a line, select the line thickness as 6 pt., then after some
other drawing again select that 6 pt. Line, go to properties, then select the
option “Thickness”, this time the thickness does not changes automatically but
the previously selected thickness 6 pt. remains same as it is and only changes
when we manually change the thickness from 6 pt. to any other pt.
As we close the file after saving and then open the saved .odg file again in
LibreOffice Draw, this described issue is seen.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Draw.
2. Insert a line, select the line, under the “Properties” select line
“Thickness” and choose 6 pt.
3. Now the line is having thickness 6 pt. Save the drawing as .odg file.
4. Close LibreOffice Draw.
5. Again open the same .odg file in LibreOffice Draw.
6. Select the previously drawn line of thickness 6 pt, under the “Properties”
select line “Thickness”. Even without selecting a line thickness, the
previously 6 pt. thick line immediately converts into a 0.5 pt. thick line. So
the previously saved thickness is now lost.
This issue is also true for any thickness more than 0.5 and any line style
(i.e. dotted, dashed, solid).
This problem is severe when there are a lot of different line thicknesses are
involved with different lines in the whole diagram. It is literally not
possible to remember what was the previous line thickness of that particular
line when the thickness immediately lost as we select the thickness option.
Actual Results:
Select the previously drawn line of thickness 6 pt, under the “Properties”
select line “Thickness”. Even without selecting a line thickness, the
previously 6 pt. thick line immediately converts into a 0.5 pt. thick line. So
the previously saved thickness is now lost.
This problem is severe when there are a lot of different line thicknesses are

possible to remember what was the previous line thickness of that particular
line when the thickness immediately lost as we select the thickness option.
Expected Results:
Select the previously drawn line of thickness 6 pt, under the “Properties”
select line “Thickness”.
The Line Thickness remains as the previously selected thickness that is 6 pt.
And it changes only when we manually select a particular thickness for that
line.
Reproducible: Always
