Description jonathonpday 2021-06-22 15:25:52 UTC
Description:
I am using LibreOffice Writer on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to make notes in a standard '.odt' file format.

Lately I notice that when I apply formatting like bold and underline to text to the file and I save and close the file and then re-open it the formatting is just gone!

I should note this does not happen with text (which saves normally) just my formatting. I don't notice any errors or issues and am unsure how to proceed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an .odt file and write text
2.Use the buttons to apply underline and bold to text
3.save and close file. Then re-open

Actual Results:
The file opened with the previous formatting removed.

Expected Results:
Saved the formatting and kept it so I could see the text remained bold and underlined.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I am not saving the file in the documents folder but in a separate project folder - I notice this issue does not seem to occur in the documents folder for some reason?

Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
