Description Piotr Osada 2023-02-24 14:58:09 UTC
There are some cases where we cannot undo a step. I have noticed that formatting in Impress is not restored after using the undo function (Ctrl+Z).

I've observed this in Impress tables and I'm not sure if this happens across the whole package or just in Impress.

The formatting is restored in a different order: it should have been first, but it was reverted after undoing the table style setting operation.

What you don't see in the video: the redo restores all the edits we made before.

Reproduced in:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Maxim, what do you think? I assume changes to designs should be undoable just like changes to styles.
I tested at f23d3661ab04601650db95f846081317fc06801d and it was already like that back then.

Absolutely.

> just like changes to styles.
Note that changes to style are neither undoable. This is a general problem in Impress.

Dear Piotr Osada,

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
