Description METTAVANT 2023-10-20 09:35:51 UTC
Description:
I've activated the automatic correction. Spelling mistakes are now clearly underlined. If I increase the font size, beyond a certain size the underlining disappears.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new Writer document
2.write a text containing errors
3.increase font size

Actual Results:
At step 2 if the font is small, errors are underlined. At step 3, if the font is larger than a certain size (which varies according to the font chosen), the errors are no longer underlined.

Expected Results:
Errors must be underlined, regardless of the font size used.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Error reproduced on several different Macs.

Hi,

my config: LibreOffice 7.5.7.1 (X86_64) LibreOffice Community on macOS 13.6

I confirm.
This bug has been discussed on the French forum (url given by METTAVANT: https://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/viewtopic.php?p=377417#p377417).

Concerns macOS.
Works as usual on Windows.

Regards

Confirmed based on forum and comment 6.
Comment 8 METTAVANT 2023-11-21 06:56:25 UTC
it is often possible to make the underlining reappear by zooming out on the page. So the problem seems to be purely a display issue. Tested on Intel Macs and Apple Macs.

Dear METTAVANT,

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
