Description Georg Jansing 2020-07-01 06:53:04 UTC
Description:
See below, hard to describe without telling the actual steps to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new document in Writer
2. Type "Hello World"
3. Open "Styles and Formatting" sidebar, "Paragraph Styles"
4. Doubleclick "Heading 1"
5. Doubleclick word "WOrld" and Change it to "Me"
6. Doubleclick "Default Style" in "Styles and Formatting" sidebar


Actual Results:
"Hello" changes back to default style, but "Me" stays in "Heading 1" formatting.

Expected Results:
Whole line changes back to default style.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Remark: moving the cursor usually changes the selection in "Styles and Formatting" sidebar to the corresponding paragraph style currently in use. When moving it to the Word "Me", the selection is still at "Default Style".

Tested on Libreoffice 6.3.x on Windows and Libreoffice 6.4.4.2 on Linux.

Comment 2 Dieter 2020-10-09 17:45:22 UTC
I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 8349ace3c3162073abd90d81fd06dcfb6b36b994
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: he-IL (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

It seems, that the substitution is treated as direct formatting. Personally I won't understand it as direct formatting, if you change a word.

So I change status to NEW, but add also design-team for further input and decision.
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2020-10-12 10:11:51 UTC
Situation after changing "World" into "Me"

<text:h text:style-name="Heading_20_1" text:outline-level="1">Hello <text:span text:style-name="T2">Me</text:span></text:h>

  <style:style style:name="T2" style:family="text">
   <style:text-properties fo:color="#ff0000"...
  </style:style>

Smells like a bug. Or what do you think, Mike?

Comment 8 Timur 2021-02-21 19:31:43 UTC
Fix seems worse than the original issue. I'm in favor of revert.
Comment 9 Telesto 2021-09-25 00:48:44 UTC
@Xisco
Any change to revert this?

Already multiple people in favor of this:
1) Comment 8
2) Same opinion (of Mike Kaganski): bug 144638 comment 11
Comment 10 David 2021-10-01 08:03:08 UTC
It seems like in the file 'master/sw/source/uibase/wrtsh/wrtsh1.cxx' that line #269 (SetAttrSet(aCharAttrSet, SetAttrMode::DEFAULT, &aPaM);) in the function 'bDeleted' should only be executed if there is no character style already set.
Comment 11 David 2021-10-01 20:56:15 UTC
It seems like the line #248 (GetPaMAttr(&aPaM, aCharAttrSet);) also needs to be executed only if no character styles are used, otherwise if a whole word is replaced it still won't use the automatic character style.
Comment 12 David 2021-10-01 23:55:43 UTC
I think comment 11 can be disregarded.  The issue mentioned in that comment seems to no longer be happening after another re-compile.  The problem line seems to be 'aCharAttrSet, SetAttrMode::DEFAULT, &aPaM);' in wrtsh1.cxx.
Comment 13 Mike Kaganski 2021-10-02 04:38:47 UTC
(In reply to David from comment #12)

David, it's great that you handle this.
Do you need assistance to provide your patch to gerrit?
Comment 14 David 2021-10-02 08:06:54 UTC
A programmer needs to determine how to handle this.  

A.) The problem line can be commented out. This would revert the program to behaving like before 6.3 until it's dealt with properly later.

B.) All the code associated with tdf#79717 could be removed (currently about 10 lines). Personally I never thought it was a bug to begin with.

C.) The problem line could be re-programmed to detect if a character style is used.  I don't know how to do that.

Me too. David, are you interested in crafting the revert?  (Unit test, then 04bd1925706360414438b814046b543c5e317d0a, then 6abed0ea006f3616e40faf2ae782cf64f8ac2914 I assume.)
Comment 17 David 2021-10-12 15:55:29 UTC
I could send someone a modified file if I knew who to send it to.

You send it to Gerrit :-)

Comment 19 Justin L 2021-10-13 12:47:05 UTC
mstahl could probably fix this properly within an hour. I've spent several hours looking for alternative functions that could snapshot the existing direct formatting and re-apply it, but I've come up empty. SW is just too complex for me.
