Description android4 2019-03-28 00:37:06 UTC
Description:
If you have a document that contains multi-line paragraphs: If some paragraphs are indented and some are not: When you go to Format > Paragraph > Spacing Below paragraph: When you change that setting: The indented paragraphs unexpectedly lose their indenting.

Worked correctly in 6.1.5 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document that contains some multi-line paragraphs.
2. Indent some paragraphs but not others using "Increase Indent" button.
3. Highlight several paragraphs (both indented and not indented.)
4. From menu-bar, goto Format > Paragraph... > Spacing Below paragraph:
5. Change the value.
6. Click on OK button.

Actual Results:
All highlighted paragraphs are no-longer indented.
Previously formatted text is not as expected. Time wasted!

Expected Results:
The leading under the text should have adjusted to the new setting but the indentation should have remained as previously set. The two settings should not give a linked result.

Version 6.1.5 worked correctly here. However, it had another problem with the leading function which has been corrected in version 6.2.2.2.


Reproducible: Always

Select the whole text. You should be able to adjust the leading between paragraphs without affecting the leading between lines of the paragraphs, and without affecting the indentations.

You can do this using Format > Spacing > Increase Paragraph Spacing, but their is only one value.

You ought to be able to do this using Format > Paragraph > Spacing > Below paragraph:. You can put in any value here. I like to put in 0.5 pc.

It messes up the paragraph indentations.
It does work if the paragraphs are adjusted one at a time, but that takes too long!

It works on version 6.1.5 but not on 6.2.2.2 (on Ubuntu MATE 18.10).

It also does not work on Solus 4 MATE.

In case you need the fonts, I have embedded them.

I did it, but there was no problem.

Anyway, you can do this sort of thing more conveniently by using styles and then editing the paragraph style. This affects all the paragraphs that use the style in question.

Does it also happen in save mode (Heplp => Restart in Save Mode)?

Folks,


I started this. The problem appears to have "gone away" now.

The problem was in MX Linux MATE (and lots of other distros):

Version: 6.3.1.2
Build ID: b79626edf0065ac373bd1df5c28bd630b4424273
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Flatpak
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Resetting my profile made no difference.




The problem is no longer in MX Linux MATE (nor Ubuntu MATE):

Version: 6.3.3.2
Build ID: a64200df03143b798afd1ec74a12ab50359878ed
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Flatpak
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB

It would appear that you can close this bug now.
