Description Gerhard Schaber 2017-01-20 08:25:27 UTC
The same as bug 93018, but now with 5.2.4.2.
Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2017-01-21 10:38:39 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 5.2.4, I could reproduce this.

I don't reproduce this with master sources updated yesterday.

Have just copied forms with LO 5.3.4.2 - no problems here.

I will close this one as WORKSFORME.

Hmm, interesting problem. Libre Office has one special feature. For the paragraph formatting to be copied, the entire paragraph (or a fragment of the previous and next paragraph of the same formatting) must be selected. To select a paragraph, you can use the combination Ctrl + Up, Ctrl + Down, Ctrl + Shift + Down. I want to warn you that this way of working with documents (thoughtless use of manual formatting) usually leads to very disastrous consequences in terms of subsequent formatting changes. A much more practical way is to mark up the document with styles, without using manual formatting. Then, to change the entire document, you just need to reconfigure a few of the used styles properly (or apply a set of styles from another document / template). I also recommend that you look on YouTube for videos in which the authors show how to fix a similar problem because of what it can arise. I found a couple of dozen videos on this topic there and most of them had about 29 thousand views! I am sure this is because their authors used the services of https://soclikes.com/ in order to wind up views.

I advice you to post this bug as a video-review on Youtube so that many interested people can see it. And you can always use the services of https://viplikes.net/ to increase the number of subscribers.
