Description Michael Shurtleff 2018-08-29 21:00:03 UTC
Description:
Intermittent problem.
Running Version: 6.0.4.2 (x64) on Windows 7 Professional. 11 page .odt document while writing I'll ctrl "b" or click the bold text icon after selecting target text. All pages of all text are then bold. ctrl "z" then... 
I save and try again. Same result. Doesn't matter how long I wait.
Close and re-open document does not solve.
font "Verdana" set to regular in "format"-"Character"-"font" 
Should not have to restart machine so have not.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. heading 3> enter > Numbered list > bold text
2. Create new sentence not numbered > normal text
3. Create new numbered sentence > highlite text > ctrl "b".

Actual Results:
 All Text All Pages bold.

Expected Results:
I expected to have the highlighted text now bold. Not the entire document.
The software should respond to the command "un-bold" and the command "bold highlighted text" instead of "bold all text on all pages".


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I did go to safe mode in writer and reverted to last good configuration and it appeared to be fixed. 

Still very annoying. I have donated by the way. more than once. Not that I expect favor because I don't. 
Just saying, not a mooch.

Thanks team for a great product

I tried this with a blank document starting from scratch, but did not see the problematic effect.
Can you create a minimal document containing all the steps before the last "highlite text > ctrl "b"" that reliably shows the problem? Please attach it to the report.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.
