Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-01-09 12:58:29 UTC
I tried all tabs in the Format > Paragraph dialog and could not reproduce on:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 8ae84bb5566e12df64236a116b9d1889d6f5f052
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But you are right, it is broken in 7.5:

Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

It's a regression as it works as expected in 7.4.3.2.

Could be a duplicate of bug 152733, checking now.

(Well, I'm saying "regression" but it might just be the online ressource that's not available currently...)

There has been documentation build issues for 7.5 lately, we'll wait for a new build after this is merged and see:

The 404 not found error is also manifesting with the helppack for local Help installed.

The patch was merged yesterday, but currently the only build fresh enough to test with is macOS: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-7-5/MacOSX-x86_64@tb92-TDF/

I see no issue with 7.6, so hopefully that is it.
Comment 5 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-01-10 15:32:34 UTC
Looks fixed since the help pages were last built. Same issue as previously reported in bug 152733.

The helppack should work as expected when the next build is available for download.
