Which icon do you mean exactly?
Comment 2 Carolus 2011-08-02 03:47:10 UTC
Hi,

I use the dutch version of LibreOffice, so I know only the dutch name of the 
icon: 'tekengrootte', which means 'character size'. The icon is positioned 
right between the character type icon. The layout is a square with a 
lowercase 'a' in the left corner and two triangles in upper right corner (one 
triangle with top high and one triangle with top low, symbolizing enlarging 
and lowering the character). 

When this information is not sufficient, please tell me in which map I can find 
the icon files. Then I could send it as an attachment.

@Carolus
If you mean "Increase Font" and "Reduce Font" you have to selected the text that you wont to change. These commands work with a selection.
Comment 4 Jeffrey 2011-08-02 06:54:27 UTC
Failed to reproduce with LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) on OpenSuse Linux.

If vitriol assumption that the Carolus means "Increase" and "Decrease Font" is the equivalent of Character size, then bug is not reproducible.

To reproduce:
1. View -> Toolbars -> Formatting (Make sure it is on)
2. Make sure the buttons "Increase" and "Decrease Font" are visible by clicking the drop down button at the end of the toolbar.
3. Highlight text and click increase/decrease font. Font size should change accordingly.
Comment 5 Carolus 2011-08-02 14:14:30 UTC
Hi,

No, this is only one single icon, not two commands for increasing and decreasing fonts. 
These two commands are also available and work well. But the one that does not initiate any 
action is one single icon with (in dutch) the explaining text 'tekengrootte' = 'character size'. 
This inactive icon has almost the same look as 'increase font' and 'decrease font', but has 
two arrow triangles instead of one.

I did not ask for how to do something. I only would report a bug. An icon that does not work is 
not normal in programs. And selecting (highlighting) a text does not change anything in this 
case.

This also replies Jeffrey's comment.

Regards,

Carolus

Carolus, could you please capture your screen and pointing the icon you mentioned?
Comment 7 Carolus 2011-08-16 11:56:23 UTC
Hi detective,

I am on hollydays now, so I can not send you the screen capture. I can say
I have the toolbar vertically on the right side. My description is based
on that configuration. After 1 sept I will give you a futher answer.

Regards,

Carolus

Aha, I got it!

Step to reproduce:
1. Drag your formatting toolbar to the right (or left) end of the window until it snap vertically, as in attachment.
2. Note the 'Font size' button, circled in attachment.
3. While not select any text, click it.
Expected: I'm not sure what to expect [1], but ...
Actual: Nothing happen
4. Selecting some text in the document, and click it.
Expected: There should be some way to adjust font size
Actual: Nothing happen

CONFIRMED with LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) Windows XP

[1] Because in horizontal toolbar, it is the drop-down list of font size. And for 'Font name' in vertical toolbar, it is the 'Character' dialog like when you select Format > Character, which doesn't as same as drop-down list of font name in horizontal toolbar.
Comment 9 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-23 13:25:25 UTC
Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.
