Description: After selecting some text and making bold, this action has a transfer effect. Eg: click on another line (not ending bold) and note the formatting bar B lights up unexpectedly. Select 2 or more words and try to make them appear bold (eg:'cntrl+B) and nothing happens. Just trying for one word is successful. This issue might not appear until you move and try another line! Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select some text and make bold. 2.Click to the end of another line (not ending bold) and the formatting bar B lights up blue. Try another line if this doesn't happen. 3. Select 2 or more words on that line and try to format bold (nothing happens) 4 Select a single word and format to bold without a hitch. Actual Results: Sometimes problem not apparent. Expected Results: Formatting menu B symbol should not light where no bold formatting exists. Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Bold formatting of selected (multiple) words should become apparent in response to normal bold formatting action.
I cannot reproduce on LibreOffice v.7.2.4.1 All seems to be working fine. Marc Mageia Linux8
Created attachment 177018 [details] Screenshot: formatting bar B is blue when non bold words selected. Hi Marc Thanks for the reply. It is not a consistent problem. I attach a screen shot to show I am not making it up. You can see I have selected a couple of words and the B is blue! I select another couple and it may or may not not be blue! Garry

Hi Garry Thank you for the report. Could you please: - Please update your version of LibreOffice to a current version. If you want to stick to version 7.1, the latest bugfix version is 7.8.1, downloadable on the website. See if you can still reproduce the issue. - Try to reproduce the problem with a fresh user profile. Instructions are here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Help_wizard_.28LibreOffice_5.3_and_newer.29 If you can't reproduce, you will have to reset your user profile to fix the issue. That would explain why others can't reproduce. - If you can reproduce with a current version and with a fresh profile, please share the information in Help > About LibreOffice so we have more information about your system and the LibreOffice installation. Once you have done that, please feel free to set the bug's status back to "UNCONFIRMED". Thank you! (for what it's worth, I haven't been able to reproduce on Linux either: 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 )
Created attachment 177023 [details] Writer doc that demos the error. Select various word/s (e.g. 'Kenotic') and notice the B light up and you cant make the selection appear bold.
content.xml file shows some (for me) strange formats. "Kenosis" have two different paragraph styles (Strong_20_Emphasis) that are hidden in the Styles (F11): "Ke" (T4) and "nosis" (T5). Could it be that the document once was a .doc(x)?

Thank you. I think you are on to it! It is most likely that the document once was a .doc(x) Is that the end of this enquiry? Is it something to be fixed? If I come across the issue again, I will make a copy via WordPad and use it to replace the original document.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
We normally need steps how bug appears, like correct source document and action that makes it wrong. Here, it's already spoiled document and I don't think that someone can fix that. So I think we can only close. Here, both character style and direct formatting are applied, it's a mess that should be cleaned. Format-Clear Direct Formatting and Styles-Char Style.
