Bug #: 47379
Summary: Inserting then editing a footnote gives unwanted
results if Apply is selected before OK
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.5 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
To replicate, i LO Writer, have a single sheet document with lots of paragraphs
in it (blank or otherwise).
Insert a footnote into the page: "Insert > footnote/endnote".
Click "OK" in the next dialogue box, accepting the default settings. Scroll
down to have the footnote in view.
Now edit the footnote, right-click in the page and then select "Page" from the
context menu.
Select the 'Footnote' tab of the dialogue.
There are two sections to this page; 'Footnote area' and 'Separator line'.
To demonstrate the behaviour, change either, or both, the 'Space to text'
dimension in the 'Footnote area' section, and/or the 'Spacing to footnote
contents' dimension in the 'Separator line' section.
Select "Apply". As expected, the changes are executed on screen and the
dialogue box stays open.
But ...
The dimensions in the dialogue box now change.
1. If you click "OK" to exit, these newer altered dimensions are applied.
2. You cannot, having clicked "Apply", change the dimensions to anything
meaningful.
3. You can exit, having pressed "Apply", by clicking "Cancel" and having the
changes which occurred on "Apply" remain in place.
4. Having pressed "Apply", you can then press "Reset", re-do the settings,
and then click "OK" to exit.
If "OK" is clicked without "Apply" at the outset, the results wanted are
obtained.
Result obtained on WinXP Home (Service Pack 3)
LibreOffice 3.4.5 000340m1 (Build 502)
A response on the LO Documentation Team mailing list to this was "I get the
same thing on windows 7 as well as ubuntu 11.1--both running version 3.4.4
build 402"
