Description Regina Henschel 2016-08-29 19:10:48 UTC
Created attachment 127068 [details]
Example with custom character size with parent-child relation and percent value

Open attached document. Change the font size of the style "Basis" to a different value. This changes the size of the word "Basis", which has this style applied.

The word "size" has the style "Basis200%" applied. This style is a child of style "Basis" and its font size is set to the value 200%.

Expected behavior: The size of the word "size" follows the changes in the parent style "Basis".
Observed behavior: The size does not change.

Save and reload the document. Now the word "size" get the totally wrong size value 24pt.

Open the style "Basis200%" on tab "Font" for Modify. Click on OK without changing anything. Now the size of the word "size" is set correctly to double of what you have set in style "Basis".

If you look in the standards for the correct behavior, then notice, that in section "20.183 fo:font-size" it is explicitly said, that for percent the parent style is used as reference.
Comment 1 Octavio Alvarez 2016-09-18 08:21:48 UTC
Confirmed on Debian/Sid.

Version: 5.1.3.1
Build ID: 1:5.1.3~rc1-1
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.5; UI Render: default; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8)

Font color, for example, does propagate to children when modified. Font size doesn't. Editing the child by hand and changing to a different value en then to 200% recalculates properly.
