Format - Columns: I modified the spacing. If I push Enter, the spacing always remains, varies only when I click the button OK.
Here is what I did to reproduce your problem: 1. Create a page of text (or use existing). Highlight the text using the mouse. 2. Format -> Columns 3. Change to 2 Columns. 4. In spacing, change to 2.00". 5. Press Enter. Dialog box closes. Expected Result: The spacing in between columns is changed, as if the user had clicked "OK". Actual Result: Spacing does not change. The user can reopen the Columns dialog and resubmit the changes, and click OK with the mouse. Then changes are applied.

I cannot reproduce this behavior (anymore?) using Linux Mint 14 x64 and LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c). @Brenda, Zoltan: any chance to retest using 4.0.2.1 (which you can download here http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ )? Kind regards, Joren
@Jorendc : I did retest this, and it is no longer a bug for Version 4.0.2.1. I will close this as RESOLVED- works for me. @Zoltan : If this is still an issue for you, please let us know additional information, including platform and which version of Writer you are using. You can then REOPEN the bug. Version: 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c) Platform: Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS x64 -Brenda
RELAPSE: come back to 4.0.6.2 release.
Indeed, reproducible using Windows 8 with LibreOffice Version: 4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 So lets mark this as a bug of 4.0.6.2, as mentioned in Comment 4. And as a regression versus 4.0.2.1 (last version 2 independent users can't reproduce it anymore.
for me this behaves the same in master and 4.0.6.2 as in older versions: if you type in the numbers in the "Spacing" field then the preview in the upper left does not update and pressing Enter does not apply the Spacing. if you instead click on the up/down arrows or use Cursor Up/Down keys to modify the value then the preview will update and Enter will apply Spacing. removing "regression"
