Bug ID: 92286
Summary: UI: Do not select automatically the first recent
typeface
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.5.7.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: franciscoadriansanc...@gmail.com
The introduction of the recently used typefaces is in my opinion a very useful
feature. This, plus the fact that English isn't my mother tongue, makes it a
little difficult to explain to me.
Suppose you are editing a document, like and ODT. You are using typeface "A" on
it. You want to use now typeface "B" as direct formatting [1]. If you click on
the dropdown font menu, the first of the recently used typefaces (suppose: "C")
is automatically selected.
In my opinion the selected typeface, shown in the typeface box, should be the
actual typeface and not the first of the recently used.
Maybe the problem is how LibO estimates the recently used typefaces. Probably,
if I'm using typeface "A", the first recently used typeface should be "A", not
"C".
The problem now is that, if my click was accidental and I click on the document
again to close scape that modification, the selected typeface remains "C". And
if I accidentally press enter, the format is applied.
Steps may be different in some cases, like, if the last used typeface is also
the one present in the document.
Steps:
0) You should use a typeface different from the first of the recently used.
This happens to me frequently if I open my predefined template which has "A"
set in the "Default style", but recently I have applied typeface "C" as direct
formatting. Also, this may happen between different apps, like creating a new
text file, but having applied typeface "C" as direct formatting in a
presentation.
1) create a new doc, which is set with typeface "A" (like ODT)
2) click the typeface dropdown button
Result:
the first of the recently used typefaces ("C") appears automatically selected.
Expected:
the actual typeface is selected.
3) Click outside the dropdown menu
Result:
The selected type remains "C", even if I wasn't intended to use "C".
Expected:
After click outside the dropdown menu, the typeface shown in the textbox is the
originally shown before I clicked it.
Workaround:
click a second time outside the dropdown button.
[1] Because LibO allows you to do that, even though I also use styles a lot in
general.
