Problem description: When using autoformat to underline or bold text, the formatting continues after the closing character is typed. This has been verified using LO 4.0.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04.02 and Ubuntu 12.10 (x64). Steps to reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice Writer. 2. Type either of the following sentences verbatim. I hid the *pitchfork* in the silverware drawer. I hid the _pitchfork_ in the silverware drawer. Current behavior: The bold/underline formatting is applied to the text "pitchfork in the silverware drawer." Expected behavior: The bold/underline formatting should only be applied to the word "pitchfork". Note/Workaround: This seems to be a state-based bug. If the formatting is toggled off using either the toolbar or the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-B or Ctrl-U, autoformatting works as expected in the document until it is closed and reopened. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.0.3 release Last worked in: (See in Summary)
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 3.6.5.2 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, just slwos Medium - bumped up from low default because it makes the feature much less usable Removing regression as I can't confirm that it ever worked. Shows up in earliest bibisect (3.6 alpha) but I set version to actually installed version of LibreOffice (not bibisect version) Whiteboard Status - ProposedEasyHack + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free.

Changing version as I can confirm the bug in 3.6alpha using bibisect. @Matt - version is earliest version we see the problem, thanks again for the report! Also can you let us know what version it did work on as it's currently marked as a regression but we don't have a working version from you
hmm... 062eaeffe7cb986255063bb9b0a5f3fb3fc8e34c ... the RSIDs broke that.
it turns out this is not a new problem but a generic autoformat problem, the RSIDs just make it a lot more annoying. it can be reproduced on versions older than 3.6 as well, by first formatting some range of text as Italic, and then using the * autofmt inside the italic text, then the following inserted characters also become bold+italic.
