Description John 2021-09-27 10:02:11 UTC
Description:
1. Create a character style "_red": bottom border 3pt red
   
2. Press Ctrl+1 to create a level-1 heading "Foo"

3. Select "Tools", "Chapter Numbering", "Numbering".
   For Level-1, set "Number" to "1, 2, 3" and "Character style" to "_red".
   
4. **The issue:** Press OK. Notice that "1" in front "Foo" doesn't have 3pt bottom border.

5. **The workaround:** Open the preferences window of the "_red" style. Select the "Font Effects" tab. Change "Font color" from "Automatic" to "Black". Press OK. Notice the border is now visible.

Comment 1 Roman Kuznetsov 2021-10-09 16:06:26 UTC
confirm that so strange behavior

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 559850da1f48fd7ea521c78a1867255212f7aee9
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.16; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Comment 2 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2021-12-19 14:26:59 UTC
Also confirmed on Linux:

Version: 7.1.8.1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e1f30c802c3269a1d052614453f260e49458c82c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

And on a recent build:

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 17a4f4d5e4d49189b43e748271d2d4fa330eef9b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

And on an earlier version:

Version: 7.0.6.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.0.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_lo1
Calc: threaded

Note that the red line appears once the character style is modified in any way: instead of changing the character's colour, you could add a shadow, or change the font, or make it a subscript: it doesn't matter. What makes the border appear is updating the character style.
I changed the summary accordingly.

Bug was reported for "Character style" but that's too general, borders are faulty. For example, setting background for other levels, that works.

Seems like implementationError from 4.2 where Borders were introduced.

Dear John,

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
