System info from "About" box: Version: 6.3.2.2 Build ID: SlackBuild for 6.3.2 by Eric Hameleers CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; Locale: es-PY (es_PY.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded When opening a document where one or more paragraphs have tab marks, selecting those paragraphs, and then opening the menu Format > Paragraph and clicking on the "Tabs" tab, either selecting the particular tab mark and then clicking on the "Delete" button, or even clicking "Delete All" does not work. The tab mark is still there. The only way to remove the tab mark is to reapply the paragraph style, when such tab mark is not part of the style definition. A fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making Libreoffice available! Eduardo Sanchez Asunción Paraguay South America
Tab marks are formatting characters in the paragraph text runs. They are inserted into the text, you do not control them from style dialog or the ruler GUI. Those configurations control the text layout when tabs are present. Simply remove the tab marks. Done with the Find & Replace dialog, <Ctrl>+H, and set 'Regular expressions' checkbox--then search for "\t" and replace with a <space> (or another string of your choice).
Reopening. Did you ever made an effort to understand my bug report? I am NOT speaking about tab characters. I thought that was apparent. It wasn't apparently. I am speaking about tab marks, those little things that could be seen from the ruler GUI. AS for the official LO 6.3 Help, (https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/01/05030300.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3156027) [quote] Delete Deletes the selected element or elements without requiring confirmation. [/quote] Well, selecting the element (tab marks or tab stops as the Help calls it, NOT a tab character) and clicking "Delete" does not have any effect. The tab marks / tab stops are still there. Therein lies the bug. Thanks again, Eduardo
More detail: Selecting any paragraphs or number of paragraphs for which a tab mark / tab stop is applied, invoking Format > Paragraph... , selectiing the "Tabs" tab and clicking on the "Delete" button... does nothing.
I can delete tabs in the paragraph dialog, but when I close dialog, tabs are still there. If I open dialog again, tab entries are again in the dialog. Is this the same, that happens to you?

That is, clicking delete appears to delete tab stops, but they are still present after closing the dialog. That is, "Delete" is ineffectual.

It doesn't happen with Version: 6.1.6.3 (x64) Build ID: 5896ab1714085361c45cf540f76f60673dd96a72 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group threaded

(In reply to Dieter Praas from comment #4) I became also curious under which circumstances the deletion of unwanted tabulator positions will work again by the paragraph dialogue.
