Bug ID: 90521
Summary: Removing column format
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.1.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
There is a bug when formatting text to remove columns.
Selecting text and setting columns to one (Format->Columns and select 1) does
not work, generating a "N-columns trap" [1]
Steps to reproduce it:
1. Create an empty document and fill it with text
2. Select the text and format it to two columns (Format->Columns, 2)
3. Select a portion of the text and format it to one column (Format->Columns,
1)
Expected result:
The selected text switches to one column.
Actual result:
Nothing happens.
As in the discussion at [1], somebody suggested the usage of sections, but I
think this method only 'wraps' the problem and the bug here described.
I believe this is a major usability issue, because it makes very hard to
properly format the text, and to move back and forth between different formats.
Although, I think it's also a bug, because when following the steps above, the
expected behavior (i.e., selected text does not change formatting) does not
happen.
