Created attachment 192788 [details] Example file from Writer When in the Accessibility sidebar there is a warning about a character and the user changes to the Style inspector sidebar, the attributes of the highlighted area are not shown, unless re-highlighted. 1. Open attached file 2. Open the Accessibility sidebar -> there is a warning about direct formatting, click on it to highlight the problematic part 3. Change to the Style inspector sidebar -> there is no direct formatting indicated. 4. Highlight again the problematic dash in the document -> the Style inspector now shows the direct formatting applied to the character Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 74185b8edf7f046a3372319da86a1d8ca0024c87 CPU threads: 15; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: default
Created attachment 192789 [details] Highlighting the problem in the Accessibility sidebar
Created attachment 192790 [details] The Style inspector does not show anything DF
Created attachment 192791 [details] The Style inspector shows there is DF after re-highlighting the indicated character
This started in 7.1 with the first implementation of the accessibility check.
I confirm it with Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ab95ed2c4b1eddc2188bd455653a77140aa3816c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Place cursor in before dash => Style inspector shows DF Place cursor behind dash => Style inspector doesn't show DF Select dash from left to right => Style inspector shows DF Select dash from right to left => Style inspector doesn't show DF In Accessibility check cursor is before dash and therefore we have the same result as in Style inspector. So better solution would be, if cursor would be after dash. Additional information I miss the information in LO help [1] that result of Style inspector for characters depends on location of cursor [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/24.8/en-GB/text/swriter/01/style_inspector.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id441641339111122
