Description Brianna Michaela 2021-09-19 17:31:18 UTC
Description:
Anywhere throughout LibreOffice where there is a font selection dropdown, choosing a different font has no effect whatsoever. In certain parts of the UI, the system does not even acknowledge you have chosen a different font; in a document, the font remains the default (or original formatting). 

This happens in all components of LibreOffice, as well as attempting to change the default font in the Options dialog for any component.

Note: The font selection *list* in the Format > Character... and Edit Style dialog boxes function as expected, as does changing fonts through previously-defined styles.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select any amount of text in a document (or spreadsheet, presentation etc.)
2. Select a new font from the Font dropdown control on the toolbar (or tab bar)

OR while a component (Writer, Calc, Impress etc.) is open

1. Choose Tools > Options...
2. Expand "LibreOffice Writer" (or Calc, Impress etc.)
3. Choose Basic Fonts (Western)
4. Attempt to select a different font from any of the dropdown lists.

Actual Results:
The font does not change at all.
* In a document, the font remains what it was. The dropdown control retains the name of the font you selected until it loses focus.
* In the Options dialog, the software acts as if you clicked out of the dropdown list (or pressed Escape)

Expected Results:
The software should have changed the font of the selected text/cell, as well as changing the font name displayed in the dropdown control. 
In the Options dialog, the software should retain the font you selected, as well as changing the font in the user's profile/preferences data.


Reproducible: Always

I also can't reproduce this bug anywhere. Reporter, can you reproduce it with the latest release? Also, can you reproduce it with a different VCL (e.g. gtk3)?
