Confirming -> NEW.

10.9 + LO Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: d93433ba1181f5d8f6ded0ed0c103df10ebb1f22
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-20_13:04:00

The preview shows "T"big and "ext" in smaller caps. That is not the case once the feature is applied to the writer text.
Comment 2 deepjungle.maca 2013-12-02 21:07:11 UTC
Please, fix it this bug. It's a regression in 4.2 against to 4.1. There is already now a beta, and the bug is still there no change from an alpha.
Comment 3 Luigi Barbieri 2013-12-05 08:03:38 UTC
The bug is still there also in 4.3 alfa
Comment 4 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-12-06 09:57:38 UTC
CONFIRMED in LO 4.2.0.0.beta2 + Ubuntu 12.04.3

"TESTING FOOD HERE"

> 2. Edit Paragraph Style -> Font Effects -> Effects -> Small capitals

a) Select just "FOOD"
b) Format -> Character -> Font Effects -> Effects -> Small capitals
c) Click "OK"

> Result:

In both the editor pane and in the document, the characters of "FOOD" appear the same size as the full-size capital letters to the left and right.
Comment 5 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-12-06 10:19:36 UTC
NOREPRO (per OP's analysis) in LO 4.1.2.2 + Ubuntu 12.04.3

(Oops -- that should read "TESTING Food HERE")

> > 2. Edit Paragraph Style -> Font Effects -> Effects -> Small capitals

done

The small caps render properly in the editor pane and in the document proper.


Regression Confirmed, setting Keyword: regression
Comment 6 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-12-06 10:20:03 UTC
This bug appears on OSX and on Linux, so:
OS -> All
Comment 7 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-12-06 10:22:56 UTC
Regression on basic functionality, so bumping up the Priority and Severity

    Related: fdo#38838 remove XubString alias

... and the reason is really really subtle.
 
-    const XubString& rOldText = rDo.GetInf().GetText();
+    const OUString& rOldText = rDo.GetInf().GetText();
     rDo.GetInf().SetText( aTxt );

That used to _copy_ the string, but now it just references the member,
and so the SetText(aTxt) below overwrites rOldText.
