Example 1-page document to explore the unwanted behaviour
Problem description:
I came up with a document where I could no longer independently change the
formatting like bold or italic of individual lines. When I change the
formatting of one line to "bold" in the same instance also the formatting of a
whole paragraph at the top of the document changes to bold which is NOT
intended. Or changing the formatting of another line to "italic" and also the
formatting of other lines are changed to italics. This is not the intended
behaviour and can really give you a hard time once the document is in this
shape. Sometimes this change is not even undone when using the 'Undo' feature.
I eventually managed to get the document formatted the way I wanted it by
manually working my way from top down and keeping reformatting all sections and
reinserting the text in plain format when necessary.
Steps to reproduce:
I do not know how to reproduce a new document from scratch that shows this
behaviour, but I have a sample 1-page document available as sample doc where
this behaviour can be explored. It might have to do with some lines having
parts being left and right aligned using tabs.
See attached document.
Select whole line
ERROR1::CHANGE-THIS-LINE-TO-ITALIC-AND-WATCH-OTHER-SUBTITLES-CHANGING-TOO
and change formatting to italic. You will see that also other lines (here
called subtitles) change their format to italic which is NOT wanted.
Select whole line
ERROR2::CHANGE-THIS-LINE-TO-BOLD-AND-WATCH-BODYTEXT-UNDER-TITLE2-CHANGE-TOO
and change formatting to bold. You will see that also the whole text under
TITLE2 changes to bold which is NOT wanted.
Current behavior:
Changing bold/italic formatting of one line also changes formatting of other
paragraphs.
Expected behavior:
Only the line edited should be changed to the selected format.
