Description JesseSteele 2019-03-07 05:11:04 UTC
Description:
I created a new style and set "Junicode" as the font, then set the font style to "Bold". Everything works great in the file and in global formatting, but when I save, close, then re-open the file, "Junicode" is set to "Regular" throughout the document, its "Bold" setting in the styles is set to "Regular", and I must change the setting back to "Bold" in the styles settings (RC > Modify...) for it to render correctly again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "Junicode" with "Bold" as the font for a new "style" in the "Font" tab
2. Type some text set as this new style, save the file.
3. Re-open the file, note the font is no longer bold.
4. Repeat 1-3 in the same file to set it back to "Bold", note the problem repeats.

Actual Results:
Junicode font as a style is not Bold after set, closed, and reopened.

Expected Results:
Junicode font as a style should remain Bold after set, closed, and reopened.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I have no other bugs with this version of Writer. Here is an example file at GitHub:

The likelihood that this is NOTOURBUG is extremely high. But since I don't actually know, I won't close the bug report.

Dear JesseSteele,

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.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

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';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
