Description Gabor Kelemen (Collabora) 2023-12-08 22:29:13 UTC
Created attachment 191324 [details]
The example file after setting one numbered paragraph to red font

When a numbered paragraph of attachment 186193 [details] from bug 154369 is changed color, the numbering gets the parent paragraphs green formatting and font size.

1. Open attachment 186193 [details] 
2. Select one of the 1-4 numbered paragraphs in full
3. On the toolbar set a different font color
-> The numbering becomes green and slightly larger font size, just like the A / B numbered paragraphs above.

repro 26.2+

repro 26.8, but I don't think this is a bug. When I save the file and open it in MS Word, then I see the same thing in MS Word. So the visual change is actually fine.

It didn't seem fine at the time of 6.4.4/7.0.0. At that point when the file was round-tripped MS Word didn't adjust the numbering format. Lots of similar follow-up changes happened around 7.2 timeframe - which I assume resolved the export side of things.

Since WYSIWYG now, marking this as WORKSFORME.
