Description libretist 2023-12-22 03:09:12 UTC
Description:
When the first character after a list ordinal has the same style as the list ordinal, the list ordinal's border box disappears.

It's hard to understand without seeing images. So please have a look at the screenshots here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/strange-bug-in-libreoffice-writer-same-color-eats-borders/99735

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a list
2. style the list so that the list ordinals have a border box
3. also assign a custom style to the list ordinal, e.g. bold + blue color
   (I don't know if step 3 is a requirement, but that's my test case, so I
    mention it to be safe)
4. now assign the same style to the adjacent text (including the first character after the ordinal - this is key, because if the first character does not have the same style, the bug does not occur)

Actual Results:
the list ordinal's border box disappears

Expected Results:
the list ordinal's border box should not disappear


Reproducible: Always

3.x version doesn't show the box around the number.

So seems it begun with version 4

Dear libretist,

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
