Description Kenneth Hanson 2018-04-11 05:12:33 UTC
When creating a bulleted list (or list style), you can select the character for each list level from the customize tab -> character -> select. This opens the Special Characters dialog, which was recently redesigned with a text filter function. The box is called "search".

Problem: If I filter before selecting a character, then click "OK", nothing happens.

For an example, enter "check" into the search box, then select U+2611 BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK. As far as I can tell, the actual character selected makes no difference. Same for the font.

If I scroll through the list and select the character, it works as expected. Furthermore, in the case where the dialog is accessed from Insert -> Special Character, both methods work as expected.

Can't reproduce it with

Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 2325f9ac789cd12e5ecc9d239baf2558e1d678bb
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-04-05_00:37:47
Locale: en-US (de_DE); Calc: CL

...
- enter "check" into the search box
- OK => three results
- select "ballot box with check" => press "OK"
- result: special character is assigned to the bullet level

Kenneth: do you want to check, if a recent master build has a fix for your problem?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Yes, I'll download it when I get a chance.

Let us know when you test it...

Okay, the problem appears to be fixed on Linux too in master as of 2018-04-20 (I used the "daily" AppImage).

I think the fix needs to be identified and backported to 6.0, considering that the new dialog is a major advertised feature. (What should the bug status be in this case?)
