Description Tamás Zolnai 2018-09-29 16:01:32 UTC
Description:
I saw a weird behavior while using Character Propertied dialog. Sometimes when I change properties on Font Effects tab page and then switch to the Position tab page the set properties seemed to be reverted somehow. The preview shows the text on a way that my changes was reverted, even if I switch back to the Font Effects tab page and there my settings was not reverted. However when I close the dialog the selected text will get the formatting shown by the preview and not what the Font Effects tab page settings indicate.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Type some text and select it for formatting
3. Open Character Properties dialog (context menu -> Character... -> Text Effects) and set a single Overlining
4. Close the dialog -> overlining is applied on the text as expected
5. Open the Character Properties dialog again
6. Select a different overlining on Text Effect tab page (e.g. bold) -> preview on the bottom shows the right overlining
7. Switch to Position tab page -> preview on the bottom still shows the right overlining
8. Switch back to Text Effects and select single overlining
9. Switch to Position tab page again -> preview shows wrong overlining (e.g. bold instead of single)
10. Switch back to Text Effects tab page -> preview shows wrong overlining
11. Close dialog with OK -> not the selected single overlining will be applied, but that one which is shown on the preview (e.g. bold).

Actual Results:
In the dialog preview shows wrong setting and also when closing the dialog with OK button LO applied wrong properties on the selected text.

Expected Results:
In the dialog always the selected properties should be displayed and also when user closes the dialog the selected option should be applied on the text.


Reproducible: Always

As the screenshot shows, Double overlining is selected in the dialog, but the preview shows long dash overlining.

Dear Tamás Zolnai,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
