I confirm:

Result with record changes: Text isn't highlighted after step 5

Result without record changes: Text is highlighted yellow after step 5

Expected result:
Same behaviour

=> NEW, because it's clearyl a bug

cc: Design-Team, because I can't assess which result should be the correct one (i would prefer solution, that text isn't highlighted, if you start typing again)

Cannot confirm. When I delete "hind" and type "hind" after step  #3, the yellow background comes back.

In general, the direct formatting should be continued. I'm a bit split whether deleting the formatted part should keep the DF after the last unformatted character. Applying DF when nothing is selected, eg after typing BE, wont be used for HIND. But without TC it works exactly like this, deleting HIND and retyping it keeps the DF. However, deleting one letter more will remove the DF. And this wont happen with TC enabled. 

In a nutshell: a) do the same with / without TC, and b) continue DF when active.

Dear Telesto,

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
