** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of
LibreOffice 
(5.1.5 or 5.2.1  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of
LibreOffice and 
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

Hi, thanks for responding with more info. I have looked at the document again. 

Here is a test case based on the document for further analysis:

1. Highlight all text, right click Clear Direct Formatting
2. Note that you can now format individual words and paragraphs.

Now...

3. Create a new custom format (Styles and formatting). Change font to red to
highlight changes. Check Auto Update box.
4. Highlight ERROR 1... line and select your custom format.
5. Highlight ERROR 2... line and select custom format.
6. Change ERROR 1... line to italics - affects ERROR 2. Change one of them to
bold. No effect. 

Upon retesting, changing one line back and forth from bold to italics had
varying results of affect on the other line. The behavior is erratic, like GS
has pointed out.

This document shows odd behavior even after clearing direct formatting.

I will close this as RESOLVED- WORKSFORME. If this is still a bug for you, and
you think it doesn't have to do with a custom formatting, you may reopen the
bug.

Thanks!

--- Comment #4 from GS gs-bugzi...@arcor.de ---
Hi, thanks for the investigation. I think it is not the whole story but a step
in the right direction... Originally I started with all text being formatted as
'Default' style and then started to select 'Headline' and 'Text Body' in my
first attempt to overcome the problem described above and gain more control of
the formatting of the different sections.

However, I just figured out that the reason seems to be releated to having
checked 'Auto Update' in the styles window for the used styles. The help for
Auto Update says:

AutoUpdate 
Updates the style when you apply direct formatting to a paragraph using this
style in your document. The formatting of all paragraphs using this style is
automatically updated. 

I now have the understanding that this means if I select AutoUpdate and
directly change the formatting of a paragraph or line with this style then this
is automatically applied to all other paragraphs with this style. Here also
selecting one single line is equivalant to selecting a whole paragraph. If
there is an additional blank behind the last word of the single line and only
the text without the last blank is selected then the style is not changed and
the everything works as expected. It has to do with selecting a whole paragraph
(not single parts of it) and 'AutoUpdate=On'.

However, I still consider it as a bug or at least a not properly implemented
feature as it does not change _all_ paragraphs of the same style type to the
new updated format but only seems to pick some paragraphs at random.

For example, if you select the line

ERROR2::CHANGE-THIS-LINE-TO-BOLD-AND-WATCH-BODYTEXT-UNDER-TITLE2-CHANGE-TOO

and then change the style 'text body' to 'Bold' only the text unter TITLE2
changes to bold. Everything else remains unchanged although the style text
body is also used in these other sections. It is also strange that an Undo
right after selecting the line and hitting 'Bold' does NOT undo the last step!
However, the style 'text body is now changed from 'Regular' to 'Bold' which is
obviously working as designed. 

The style for all text is, however, correctly formatted after selecting all
text and selecting 'Clear Direct Formatting' at the end. So when clearing all
direct formatting and unchecking 'AutoUpdate' the problem is solved. I then can
directly format each line to my needs.

However, taking the document above, it shows that you can end up with a
document which behaves strange, unpredictable and uncontrollable (i.e. only
randomly picked paragraphs of the same style change) when using the
AutoUpdate feature for this style and applying direct formatting to one
paragraph of it. You cannot predict which paragraphs of the document with the
same style do actually change their formatting when applying a direct format
change of one line with AutoUpdate=On. Furthermore the 'Undo' function does
not undo this last step of action. 

At least I would say 'Undo' should work and something of the 'AutoUpdate'
feature is slightly broken here. I would expect that 
(1) an 'Undo' should work also in this case and that 
(2) either all paragraphs of the same style do change the formatting (with
AutoUpdate=On) when changing the format in one paragraph of this style or
(3) there is a way to tell which paragraphs of the same style will remain
different due to an earlier applied direct formatting and will not respond to
the new change of the style with AutoUpdate=On.

Please play around with the document and let me know what you think!

Thank you!

I think I know what's happening here! :)

I believe you have changed the formatting for this document. 

If you look at the styles dropdown box (see my attachment), and click on
various pieces of the document, such as a title, you will see some match.  For
example, click on Title 1, Title 2 or Title 3, and you will see the styles
dropdown says Heading.

The Subtitles, and text bodies all show up as Text Body on the Styles
dropdown, but there must be some additional conditional formatting associated
with them, because some affect Subtitles, and some affect text bodies.

I tried to play around with creating a custom format following an tutorials for
LibreOffice, but I'm not very skilled. 

Let me know if you remember doing something similar.
