Bug 62257

Hi. I tested this using LibreOffice version 4.0.1.2, and did not experience this issue. When I highlight the text, and select the Bold icon, or use ctrl-B, the text is not reduced to a single character, it is just bolded. All characters are separately visible.

Because of this I'm marking the bug as WFM. If it's still an issue for you please provide any additional helpful information and reopen the bug as REOPEN.
For example, does this occur only with certain fonts or sizes, or are there other conditions of the document that might affect this?


Version: 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985)
Platform: Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS x64

In my last comment, it should say if you want to reopen the bug, please reopen as UNCONFIRMED. Thank you.

I only opened a new document, keyed two words in Times New Roman, bolded the 2nd word and it became bold as normal. But then I clicked on empty space and BOTH words, the one bolded and the one not 'scrunched'.

I opened an OLD document - the first I created with 4.0.1.2 in which I first encountered the problem and bolded a word within it successfully.

So, it isn't an 'every time' problem, though it was when I was creating that document!

Both cases were plain text files using the default Times New Roman font,

I just tried a new document, entering only two words in the default Times New Roman font. I bolded the 2nd word and that seemed to work normally until I clicked in open space when BOTH words 'scrunched'.

I had to close LibreOffice without saving as I was having difficulty deleting the two words I had entered.

I then opened the document in which I first encountered the problem. Both are plain text documents in the default font.

I WAS able to bold a word in that document successfully. So, the problem isn't appearing consistently, though while creating the first document (the first I had attempted using 4.0.1.2) it WAS consistent!

I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04.

I did what you suggested in the last comment:

1. Open a new document in Writer.
2. Type 2 words on the same line in default Times New Roman font.
3. Use the mouse to highlight second word.
4. Use ctrl-B (or Bold icon) to bold second word.
5. Click space between words.
6. Click other empty space in document.

I cannot reproduce the "scrunching" effect. I can also delete one or both words without issue.

Are you using LibreOffice for 64 bit Debian and using Ubuntu 11.04?

this is just another bit of text

and here is another line

and now a third

I bolded 'another' and all but one word on all four lines were 'scrunched'

HOWEVER, I copied and pasted with the ABOVE result.

SO, I did a SAVE AS to "aatest.odt", closed Writer and Opened it again.

The RIGHT word was bold and everything else displayed normally.

However, once I double clicked on another word, the display went crazy again!

But as you can see, copy - paste STILL works!

I am getting other problematic display issues when I set to italics!

When, however, I SAVE the document, the display becomes normal again!

I am using LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. Maybe someone who has Ubuntu 11.04 will be able to confirm the issue.

Bjoern - another apparent Ubuntu issue. Mind commenting/triaging? See comment #6

Not reproducable with 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu2~raring1~ppa3 on Ubuntu raring on amd64 from the LibreOffice ppa at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

Do you use a properly packaged version from the ppa?
