Bug ID: 154175
Summary: Drop Caps Buggy
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.5.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Changed default style to include Drop Caps, but the new style is not "sticky,"
in that the next paragraph does not automatically appear in Drop Caps as
defined in the style settings.Instead, there is the first letter of the word in
plain text (not double the size, followed by a space that corresponds to the
Distance from Text setting in the Drop Caps style setting. This is but one of
many Styles glitches that are common to LO 7.4.5.1 and higher, but not to
earlier versions.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change Default Paragraph Style to add Drop Cap.
2.Create first paragraph after changing style and Drop Cap automatically begins
at start of sentence as it should.
3.At the end of the first paragraph, hit the Enter/Return key to start a new
paragraph; the first word of the new paragraph is not in Drop Caps, though it
looks like the program recognizes it ought to be. For example, let's say the
second paragraph begins with the word Now. Also, the space to text setting is
0.02. When starting a new paragraph, Instead of the N being two lines high, it
is regular text (one line high), followed by the 0.02 spacing to the next
letter. In other words, the first word in the paragraph is: N ow . Trying to
correct it by selecting the Default style again does nothing. Creating a new
style and applying it does not work. Applying drop caps to the Paragraph
instead of the Default style does not work.
Actual Results:
Drop-cap style definition fails to invoke automatically when starting a new
paragraph. See description above.
Expected Results:
Expect to get Drop Caps when starting a new paragraph that has Drop Caps
defined in the Style settings. BTW, I am a very experienced LO user, and I have
had occasion hundreds of times to use Drop Caps, never had a problem until
7.4.5.1.
