Description: We can specify any character as bulleting symbol on Customize tab page of bulleting character. The issue is that on the Special Character dialog there are a recent and favorite list of items which are not applied if I select one of these items and click OK. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Impress 2. Click into title shape 3. Open numbering dialog (context menu -> Bullets and Numbering... -> Customize) 4. Click on custom character selection button (Characeter: Selection...) 5. Select a character from favorite or recent list of items and click OK Actual Results: The selected character is not applied. Expected Results: The bulleting symbol should be changed to the selected character. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36
Let's turn this into an easy hack. The code is here: cui/source/dialogs/cuicharmap.cxx I would suggest to check how this dialog (SvxCharacterMap) is opened and what the caller code does after the dialog is closed by OK.
