Description Fernando Fernandez 2018-02-23 13:46:18 UTC
Description:
When reopening a document today my bullet styles are changed/corrupted.

It's a document that has endured many writer versions. I upgraded to 6.0.1.1 a few days ago.

With a fresh/new document this does not occur.

Actual Results:  
The bullet characters in the main styles are changed to a different character, no longer the solid circle.

Expected Results:
Bullets hould be the the normal black circle


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce


User Profile Reset: No

Unfortunately, when reopening the file, the problem has disappeared. :-(

The problem seems to be intermittent, since when I reopened the file, the bullet characters went back to normal.

This problem has also happened to me; on my resume and cover letters, I have had bulleted lists converted into different characters, hollow squares that I believe mean that the character is not found.

As best I can tell, the default bullet used is from the Symbol font, rather than the unicode bullet character for the font that the user is typing in. This results in the characters appearing fine to the user in LibreOffice, but when opened as a .docx file elsewhere-- Microsoft Office or Google Docs-- the bullets are not found properly, and replaced with a hollow square.

Could you reproduce it meanwhile? Can you add some steps to reproduce it? If it is not possible to reproduce it, it would hardly be possible to solve the problem.
