Description lf-bt 2023-03-04 12:27:02 UTC
Description:
Using the "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style" paragraph style option (aka. "style:contextual-spacing") under "Indents & Spacing" does not seem to work in Impress (in contrast to Writer)

Also, when I check the box and save + load the file, it is no longer checked.

Either it should work, or the checkbox should not be presented to the user at all.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new Presentation
2. Add 2 lines (paragraphs) of text
3. "Select All" Text in that Frame
4. Context-menu -> Paragraph... -> Indents & Spacing
5. Increase Spacing "Below paragraph", activate "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style"

Optional:
6. Save file
7. Open file
8. Look at setting in "Paragraph..." again

Actual Results:
After 5: Spacing is added between both lines / paragraphs.

After 8: Box is no longer checked.

Expected Results:
After 5: No Spacing is added between both lines / paragraphs.

After 8: Box should still be checked.


Reproducible: Always

Dear lf-bt,

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
