Huh, I'd forgotten you can do that. And yes, if I have a cell with
mixed fonts, selecting the cell and changing the font or size affect
all the contents in the cell. Selecting all cells changes all cells
that have only one font or size, but affects only the parts of the
mixed cells that haven't been individually changed. I guess this could
be desired, if you have individually changed part of a cell, and then
want to change the default, you don't want to affect the changed part
of the cell, but also you may want to set everything back to default,
and you can't. The same behaviour is exhibited with bold.

Aha!

But if you first select all cells, then right click and Clear Direct
Formatting, then everything returns to normal font, size and
bold-ness. Of course this gets rid of all other types of formatting
too, like cell backgrounds...

Hrm...

This may be a complicated issue, as in the correct functionality
depends on what you are trying to achieve, and would be hard to guess
at beforehand.

[libreoffice-users] On Reporting Bugs

2013-11-12 Thread Oogie McGuire
For me I tried to navigate bugzilla to report  continuing bugs where 2 
formatting issues occur regularly:

1. Some cells in Calc have mixed size formatting in them or mixed fonts (parts 
are in Geneva 10 and parts in Geneva 12) I can go in by hand to each cell, 
select the piece that is the wrong size (12 point) change the font size and 
save the spreadsheet. At some point in the future (and no it is not 
consistently the next time) I re-open the file and those corrections are gone, 
the fonts are back to mixed size. It happens all the time but I can' get a 
small spreadsheet to demonstrate the problem. The one I am using that has the 
problem contains 15 years worth of sheep data and records and has a number of 
separate sheets in it. I've tried to copy out smaller sections and while I can 
get the small ones to have the mixed font issue when I change the font in them 
it seems to stay changed. 

2. Alternatively I click on the upper left blank cell above the row and column 
number lines to select the entire spreadsheet. Change the font and or size . 
Cells with a single font and size in the text change as expected but any cells 
with mixed sizes do not. 

Unfortunately bugzilla is worse than difficult to use and now it's even harder 
to find out how to do that.

 reporting the bug or making it an issue to tackle over the various
 collaborative and communication channels we have around the project.
