Description mdf.goldenberg 2017-09-17 01:14:15 UTC
Description:
Pressing Control+B will not 'depress' the Bold button in formatting. The bold function will work if it is pressed by the mouse, and the other functions (i.e. italics, underline) are working with their keyboard shortcut

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press Control+B simultaneously



Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:
The bold button on the toolbar should be 'depressed' and either the selected text or the text that is typed next should be bolded


Reproducible: Always

Can not confirm on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with
Version: 5.4.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: ea7cb86e6eeb2bf3a5af73a8f7777ac570321527
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: GL; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group

<Ctrl>+b is not defined globally for LibreOffice, but it is defined for Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw.
 
With cursor focus in document canvas, a <Ctrl>+b toggles the Bold direct formatting active at the cursor prompt. And inside a paragraph of text, a selection will be toggled bold with <Ctrl>+b.
 
Is there some other windows shell application that is holding the <Ctrl>+b short cut reserved and unavailable from LibreOFfice? Might also check the per module shortcut assignments (Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard tab) that the Bold assignment has not been removed for user profile.

Very well could be some program holding the shortcut. After a recent update it worked as usual. Again, my confusion was that the italics and underline functions were working well, and only the emphasis was affected. 
Thank you for taking the time to try and reproduce
