I recently upgraded from v6.2, and now when I open my previously-existing .rtf files, tab characters do not display, and everything is aligned to the left side of the page. The default tab size in Options -> Writer -> General is unchanged from the stock 0.49" value, and changing it has no effect. If I manually change the per-document tab size in the style through the sidebar, this works and the tab characters display as expected, but surely I shouldn't have to set this for every single document I want to open?
Please test with a clean profile. Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode.
Updating to 6.5.6.2 might help. there is a bug in 6.4.5 related to tabs
Updated to 6.4.6.2: no change. Restarted in safe mode: no change. This isn't specific to .rtf files either, it affects all files.
Also moving/deleting my libreoffice config has no effect.
Mike, could you please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it)
Created attachment 164328 [details] a test document Test document attached. It appears to be only tabs used for indentation at the start of lines that have issues. I'm currently using the libreoffice build (RPMs) from libreoffice.org in case that matters.
I've opened your test document in LO 7.0 and in LO 6.1, but couldn't see any difference.
So you can see that the first 4 lines are indented once and the 5th line is indented twice? I've just tested with 7.0 (the build from LO.org, both with and without clearing my settings) and this problem still exists.
Ah, it seems I was mistaken; I was still testing the distro version all this time since I didn't see that the LO.org versions install to a separate prefix. Using the actual LO.org build (7.0), this issue is resolved without changing my config. I guess this is somehow an issue with the Fedora build of LO 6.4?
Should I be reporting this downstream to Fedora, or is this likely to somehow be a local issue?
(In reply to Mike Blumenkrantz from comment #10) > Should I be reporting this downstream to Fedora, or is this likely to > somehow be a local issue? I'm using Windows, so I can't answer this question. But if the problem is solved with build from LO website let's close the bug report => RESOLVED WORKSFORME
