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
Created attachment 157521 [details] Same file, this time purely created as ODT. Line spacing works as expected 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?
O.K., now I got it (sorry for confusion). I confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: eeb2d19e77d6dc47c68e8ba0920a02cf64a1247b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded

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 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!

Retested with Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e19e193f88cd6c0525a17fb7a176ed8e6a3e2aa1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded and I'm a bit confused now Help [1] says: "Line spacing - Specify the amount of space to leave between lines of text in a paragraph." but in fact it also sets the spacing between paragraphs. If this is intended, help should incude this information. And if it is intended, the bug description in comment 0 is correct. so I add design-team for double-check. Steps 1. Open attachment 157520 [details]. Every paragraph has PS "aaa" 2. Edit PS "aaa" -> Tab Indents & Spacing -> Line Spacing -> Fixed 3. Change value to 10pt (or any other value) and click "Apply" button Actual result No change in spacing Expected result Change in spacing 4. Change value to double (Works as expected) [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-GB/text/shared/01/05030100.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=cui/ui/paraindentspacing/ParaIndentSpacing#bm_id3145138

And if > it is intended, the bug description in comment 0 is correct. > The 'Line Spacing' affects only the lines of text (i.e. external leading) within a paragraph. The 'Spacing' -> 'Above paragraph' and 'Below paragraph' affect the additional leading between paragraphs. Those will apply to the 'aaa' style of the test document. So that is not issue here. However, there is something incorrect with the source document's 'aaa' PS style and its 'Fixed' line spacing at ".13" -- confirming the mishandling by LO. Editing the line spacing of the style and applying does not adjust. Also clearing Direct Formatting does not affect. However, creating a new document with a new style and applying Fixed line spacing behaves as expected. So something in the original MS Word doc -- seems like the "P59" style and "aaa" .321cm Line-height for the style got munged on conversion?
I cannot follow the problem. As pointed out by Stuart we have Line Spacing and Above/Below Spacing. Changing those values works for me. => NAB I don't see an issue for UX anyway, what have I missed?
Closing the unclear issue for now. Feel free to reopen.
