Description Elmar 2017-06-13 17:11:59 UTC
Description:
If I place cursor in a word, and click on Italic button in Side Bar, Toolbar or Menu item, the word is italicized.
However, placing the cursor inside the word and using CTRL+I does not.
It would be nice if there was consistent behaviour between all the different methods.

Actual Results:  
word is not italicised with CTRL+I

Expected Results:
Should have been italicised


Reproducible: Always

well, it simply does (and always have done) for me..
Comment 2 Dieter 2017-06-13 20:08:39 UTC
I tried with LO 5.4.0.0.beta2 and it works for me, too (using Win10). Is it possible that it is only a Linux issue?

I'm on Linux.
The same with every (new) document?
Can you look at Tools > Customize > Key board.. maybe reset that (the Ctrl+I) key?

Comment 5 Elmar 2017-06-16 09:32:32 UTC
I have been looking into this, and it seems that it my be an Distro issue - I don't know what the rules of precedence are in the case where hot key assignmnets are assigned multiple times. Intuitively, I believe it should be in the order
OS --> Active Window --> Active App

Obviously that there are some "original masters" like CTRL-ALT-DEL which should not be reassigned and have precedence regardless. (But I see it can, with a warning at least - but I guess that is in keeping with the owner has control ethos.)

At lease, for the years 1974 - 1987 when I used to lead software projects and used to handle the most important programs myself, that is the way I would have approached it.

Since then I have been mainly working as PM of large projects, programme manager or consulting at a strategic level, so I am a bit out of touch.

I committed to Linux in 2009. My Distro preference since 2012 has been Linux Mint Cinnamon, and these days I do all original work in the OS equivalents and save Windows versions for sharing with others (or preferably, PDF.)

I am very pleased with the commitment that the OpenSource community has to consistency and standards. I have been through every single DOS version of MS, and until Win7, every single version of Windows, and have never bought their pragmatic "good enough" philosophy. I believe we are seeing the chickens come home to roost in the attacks that are currently becoming de rigeur.

So, kudos to you guys.

Question: what has happened to 5.5? I see that the last update was on 6June, and it does not appear in the versions list any more, but 6.0 does - does this mean that the focus is on getting 5.4 ready for final release, and 5.5 has been abandoned?

Is there a place where one can read about such things?

I have tried instructions in comment 3, and it has made no difference. 

I wonder about this: 
I currently have two DEV versions installed: 5.4 and 5.5. They seem to use the same config folder in the config folder.
Could this influence matters?
I am removing 5.4 and will see.

No it won't make a difference. I indeed think it's a distro/xWindow issue.
