Description DarkTrick 2020-01-30 04:57:53 UTC
Created attachment 157520 [details]
Document converted from doc document

If 
- you have a doc/xdoc document 
- convert it to odt
- Try to change the line spacing to other than 1/1.25/1.5
Then the setting does not get applied.

For testing, using the attached test-document is probably the easiest.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open the attachment
- (The "a"s you see are formatted as paragraph style "aaa")
- "Edit style" for the paragraph style "aaa" (top left corner)
- Tab `Indents & Spacing` -> `Line Spacing` -> `Fixed` -> 10pt (or any other value)
- click `Apply` button

Expected result: 
- Line spacing setting gets applied.

Actual result: 
- Line spacing settings gets ignored.

DarkTrick, there's a difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing. Line spacing effects the spacing of lines within an paragraph; paragraph spacing affects the spacing between paragraphs. Since you only have single-line paragraphs in your document, it's clear, that line spacing doesn't change anything in your document.

Does this information solve your problem => NEEDINFO

Lightspeed reply! +1

Did not solve my problem, though.

I added another attachment. It's the same steps to produce the lines (this time "b"s). This time the line spacing works.


There's also another problem with your answer:
Regarding your answer the line spacing should have no affect at all (because it's paragraphs). But `Line Spacing` = Single / 1.15 / 1.5 actually changes the spacing. 
Or did I overlook something?

Dear DarkTrick,

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
