Description Tamás Zolnai 2017-08-16 00:53:08 UTC 
Description:
On outliner view sidebar have only a character properties tab. Most of the property controls seem to work, but font name toolbox is empty sometimes, directly after switching to outliner view. After I set new font for a text font toolbar come alive and updated when change the text selection.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Impress
2. Add some text to title shape
3. Switch to outliner view
4. Select different parts of the text or move cursor inside the text with the arrow keys
5. Check sidebar's font name toolbox

Actual Results:  
Font name toolbox shows nothing.

Expected Results:
Font name toolbox should show the actual font name of the selected text or the text at the cursor.


Reproducible: Always

Also see occasions in Normal view when text font is different from defaults that no font shows in the droplist, but moving focus into the text eventually picks up the font.

Dear Tamás Zolnai,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
