Description Kevin 2017-06-04 08:31:44 UTC
Description:
Rather than undo-ing to a previous state, selecting undo applies bizarre font formatting that had never been present in the document since its creation!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open attached spreadsheet (steps are shown with easy to understand graphic examples)

Actual Results:  
Undo sets a whole cell to Bold that had previously only had certain characters bolded.

Expected Results:
Undo should revert to the previous state.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
As you'll see, several other (even worse) bugs are also revealed with these steps but I think their root causes are characterized in other reports. I couldn't find the undo problem reported elswhere.

I think the core problem is that Calc has a nasty habit of changing font attributes without being asked to, and makes these unwanted changes based on the attributes of previous unselected characters. So when you "undo", it only "undoes" what you typed and then when it "retypes" the characters that had been there before its proactive and sadistic auto-formatting kicks in and you wind up with a formatting pattern that had never been present in the cell at any point.

This is a  duplicate of existing bug that reports paste or typing not as replacing selected text, but as delete+insert.
I cannot find it now to mark.
