Bug ID: 170612
Summary: Formatting persistence: Text color remains visible in
external ODT readers (OnlyOffice) unless "Clear
Formatting" is used
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.4 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Actual Results: When changing text color back to "Default" in LibreOffice
Writer, the previous color remains visible when the ODT file is opened in other
editors (e.g., OnlyOffice), even though it appears correctly in LibreOffice.
The formatting only truly resets if "Clear Direct Formatting" is applied.
Expected Results: Setting the text color to "Default" or "Automatic" should
completely remove the previous color attribute from the ODT XML, ensuring
consistent rendering across different ODT-compliant software.
1. Open a new Writer document and type some text.
2. Change the text color to "Red".
3. Select the text and change the color back to "Automatic" or "Black"
(Default).
4. Save the file as .odt.
5. Open the same file with OnlyOffice (or another ODT viewer).
6. Observe that the text still appears "Red" in the external viewer.
7. Go back to LibreOffice, select the text, use "Clear Direct Formatting"
(Ctrl+M), and save.
8. Re-open in OnlyOffice: the color is now correct.
