Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-05-02 03:37:24 UTC
Observation "The text is modified to CAPITALS" is not reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.4Beta3  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) German UI [DEV300m103 (Build:3)]"

I believe the "illusion" is caused by the particular letter size used by reporter, in reality there is a difference between "Small Capitals [Liberation Sans]" and "SMALL CAPITALS [UPPERCASE]" in sample document. Modifying letter size to 30 for the text shows the difference and also the problem from "Bug 36366 - FORMATING Small Capitals: setting for character size only affects Uppercase letters"

I believe this one is a DUP of "Bug 36366 - FORMATING Small Capitals: setting for character size only affects Uppercase letters"

@manj_k:
Do you agree?

@Rainer Bielefeld
Agreed.

BTW: I don't want to discuss the details and the summary of Bug 36366.
The lowercase characters seem always to be modified to 12p uppercase
(e.g.: start with default text 36p – see screenshot 3).
