Description: Sometimes, using "Increase Font" can be very helpful for setting the font size to some arbitrary size, especially before wrapping. Unfortunately, it caps out at the arbitrary size of 72pt. Even the drop-down menu goes until 96pt. I don't see a reason for a cap at all, and think it should scale all the way up to the maximum font size, like Draw does. Worse, if you start with a larger font size and press "Increase Font," it will reduce the font size down to 72pt. Steps to reproduce: 1. Type some text 2. Highlight text 3. Use "Increase Font" function (ctrl ]) or by enabling the toolbar button (right click->visible buttons->Increase Font. 4. Keep clicking until it maxes out at 72pt 5. Manually type in a font size of 150pt and press enter 6. Use "Increase Font" function (ctrl ]) or by enabling the toolbar button (right click->visible buttons->Increase Font. 7. Notice that the font has been reduced back down to 72pt. More: I guess this is half enhancement request and half trivial bug report. I'm setting to trivial because it behaves in an obviously wrong manner by reducing larger fonts to 72pt. Obviously, this is not that big of a deal and is quite easy to work around. I tested this on versions of Libreoffice 4.2.x, 4.1.x, 4.0.x, 3.5.7, but ultimately saw the same behavior in OpenOffice 3.2.1. Since this predates the LibreOffice project, I'll set the version to 3.3.0.

> please specify your O/S. Sorry about that not mentioning OSs. I tested and can confirm this behavior under the following versions/os's: LibreOffice 4.0.6.2 under 32bit Fedora 17 LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 under 32bit Fedora 17 LibreOffice 4.2.0.1 under 32bit Fedora 17 LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 under 64bit RHEL6 OpenOffice 3.2.1 under 64bit RHEL6 Libreoffice 4.2.0.1 under 64bit MS Windows Vista From these tests, it seems likely that it at least affects all MS Windows/Linux versions. > correct version in this case is "inherited from OOo" Wow, I never knew there was an "Inherited from OOo" version! I'll be sure to use that in the future.
Not really a bug, but a feature request, since the limit is simply hard-coded in the code. What really odd is that the toolbar has the limit of 72pt, but the text sidebar panel has 96pt.
This is a dupe of fdo#35862 It's marked as EasyHack over there, a lot of people in CC. Just nitpicking, but lets mark this one as duplicate, and Maxim, I'll assign you to that one. In this case we don't have that many bugs referring to each other etc etc. Sorry for the noise. Kind regards, Joren *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 35862 ***
Aah, maybe I was to fast for this one. Slightly other details (limitation of 72pt, not only the odd behavior when selecting different font sizes). My bad.
