Description Roger 2021-05-17 08:46:59 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice writer often changes the numbering font of the line I'm editing a list. Undo does not undo the font change and I have to exit and reopen the document. This requires frequent saving after only editing a few words so that I can go back to a previous version without the large font change and start again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have or create a document with a numbered list.
2.Copy the line and insert a duplicate line.
3.Select some text in the duplicate line. 

Actual Results:
Replacing text will suddenly cause the number font to go from Arial 9 to some big and bold font.


Expected Results:
Text should simply change to what is typed and not have the side effect of changing the numbering font.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Undo does not undo the change.

You need to attach sample document and (in it) write exact steps what to do.

Attached are sample documents, "Bug.odt" and "Bug2.odt". Start with Bug.odt and select the item on line 1, "Row 1". Type anything over this, such as I have and saved in Bug2.odt, "Replace Row 1". Notice as I saved the changes in Bug2.odt, the "1." line number font changed to a larger and perhaps bolder font. Anything you type from now on will be that larger font and undo will often not undo the font change. The only hope is to have saved changes before the buggy font change happened and to reopen the document (requiring very frequent saves to return to a version before the bug happens). Also copying a line and pasting above (or below) will cause the line number to change fonts and everything I type afterwards (this is my typical use case in adding lines to my document lists).

Bug.odt is the original document, Bug2.odt saved doc after bug occurs.

See previous comments regarding the 2 documents and how to reproduce.

The formatting number 1 in the list differs from the rest. It has Nimbus Roman No9 L as font.. For some reason. 

I'm not able to generate such a document from scratch.. So question how did you got the bulleted numbered list? Copy/paste?
Comment 8 Timur 2022-01-07 13:35:27 UTC
Yes. But fixed long ago, at least in 7.1.
Roger, please do not report against old version like 6.4.7. 
Use LO Still 7.1.8 of Fresh 7.2.current.
