Bug ID: 150658
Summary: The behavior of the Formatting toolbar has changed in
7.4.0.3 from 7.3 and prior when copying and pasting
individual Writer table rows.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.3 release
Hardware: IA64 (Itanium)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have a short line of text, Arial, 12pt. The first few words in the line are
plain text. They are followed by a few more words that are italicized. I copy
the line from a row in a table in document 1 and paste it into a row in a table
in document 2. Before I paste it, I click the destination row to select it and
then click Bold in the toolbar, intending that the line appear with the
original formatting plus that Bold formatting. And that works fine in release
7.3. Now in 7.4.0.3 (x64) what happens is that the destination row inherits
all of the original formatting and ignores my selection of the Bold formatting,
in fact the Bold is deselected from the toolbar and Italics is selected, I
assume because the pasted line ends with a few italicized words. I don't know
if you consider this a bug or not but I'm a creature of habit and this is a
departure from how Writer has worked for me since forever.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a line of text like this but with the last 3 or 4 words italicized.
2.Copy it.
3.Paste it into a row in a Writer table after selecting (clicking) that row in
the table and selecting Bold on the formatting toolbar.
Actual Results:
After pasting, note that the pasted line is not formatted Bold and is otherwise
unchanged from what you copied. Also note that the toolbar now shows that Bold
is not selected and Italics is selected (which it wasn't).
Expected Results:
The pasted line should have been formatted Bold and otherwise unchanged, i.e.,
plain text followed by italicized text. Software should have behaved as it did
in 7.3 and prior versions, IMO.
Reproducible: Always
