Description: When selecting content and replacing it, LibreOffice doesn't simply use the selected style to format the new content, it formats them as directly formatted ... no clue why, but i don't think this is the intended behaviour. For months now i've been bothered by this, constantly having to clear direct formatting. I don't think that the version is very important, but my version on Manjaro Linux Stable is the following: Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (en_US.utf8); UI: en-US 7.2.2-2 Calc: threaded Steps to Reproduce: • Make a new document and write some words • Open the Style Inspector and watch out for changes in lowest Section („Character Direct Formatting“) • Change the font of the current style (via Style > Edit Style) • Select a word that you’ve previously written and replace it, by typing it again • Notice how the word that you’ve replaced is now directly formatted, meaning that if you change the styles’ font again, this word will not change font Actual Results: Formatting gets chaotic, because it's not visible what part has been directly formatted. Expected Results: New content should simply use the style that the replaced&selected content had before. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: none
I can't confirm it with Version: 7.2.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 27d75539669ac387bb498e35313b970b7fe9c4f9 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL But I'm not sure, if I followed your steps in the correct way, because I think you might mix direct formatting and character styles. Steps I've tried 1. Open new document and type some words. 2. Select some of the words and apply a character style with a different font, than the rest of the document (style inspector shows, that there is no character direct formatting) 3. Overwrite selected text => New text has same character style (with different font) (still no character direct formatting) 4. Change font with Direct Formatting => Possible => Please specify your problem and your steps to reproduce. => NEEDINFO
