Description Nick Levinson 2020-09-29 23:49:52 UTC
Description:
The toolbar control for font size when used for decimal fractions apparently applies all tenths to the document content with Select All but shows a value for only some tenths, while the dialog shows the correct tenth.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Writer .odt document that is all in one font and one font size and is long enough that the bottom of a page's content is almost at the bottom of the page. Shorter content may not show the effect.
2. Select All.
3. Go to the bottom of the content.
4. Use the toolbar control for the font size. I did this when the font size was 11.3 pt. I changed it to 11.4. The bottom moved down but the control resumed showing 11.3. I changed it to 11.5. The bottom went down and the control said 11.5. I changed the control to 11.4. The bottom went up and the control said 11.3. I changed the control from 11.3 to 11.3, by retyping it in the control. The bottom went up a little more and the control said 11.3. I changed the control to 11.4. The bottom went down but the control said 11.3.
5. Go to the dialog at Format > Character > Font > Size to see the size that is currently in effect.

Actual Results:
As stated in STR 4 and 5.

Expected Results:
The toolbar font size control would state the font size that is currently in effect. The dialog is apparently correct, so the toolbar should conform to the dialog.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Per About: "Version: 6.4.6.2"/"Build ID: 6.4.6.2-2.fc32"/"CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; "/"Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US"/"Calc: threaded".

When the toolbar value fraction is set to a fraction that the toolbar will not show, it is possible that it does show the fraction very briefly before it changes to show a different fraction.

Fractions smaller than tenths were not tested. A quarter point would be expressed with a fraction less than a tenth.

Through multiple LO versions, I have seen that some fractional values appeared to snap to adjacent fractional values, but I didn't try to observe movement at the bottom or compare the dialog.

I tested the bug with: 

Version: 7.0.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 8349ace3c3162073abd90d81fd06dcfb6b36b994
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

I was able to reproduce everything as stated.

Dear Nick Levinson,

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
