Hi,

I observe that existing styles are corrupted when loading styles by "Styles and Formating > Load Styles > From file"

Case 1:
To repeat:
- Open the attached file - it contains both a bulleted and a numbered list
- load styles from the same file by "Styles and Formating > Load Styles > From file" (Check Overwrite). Two of three bulleted items loose their bullets, all numbered items loose the numbers. Styles of these items do not change, so I think that the styles themselves were broken.


Case 2:
- Create a new document from the default template (may be empty)
- Open the attached file and check style OOoHeading2 of the green heading - its Outline & numbering > Outline level is "Level 2"
- load styles from the new file by "Styles and Formating > Load Styles > From file
- check now the style OOoHeading2 of the green heading - its Outline & numbering > Outline level has changed to "Body text". The same happens with other OOoHeading styles. 
In this case, since the new file does not contain the OOoheading2 style I would expect that this style it remains unchanged after loading style from there.

The problem is present in LO40, LO41, LO42 and Apache OO 3.4 and AOO 4.0

Hello Milos, *,
thanks for reporting this bug :) I can confirm your bug with LO Version: 4.1.5.3
Build-ID: 1c1366bba2ba2b554cd2ca4d87c06da81c05d24 (with Germanophone lang- as well as helppack), Version: 4.1.6.1 Build ID: a59ce81388f477fc89db57f0c27f222f31884eb, Version: 4.2.3.3 Build-ID: 882f8a0a489bc99a9e60c7905a60226254cb6ff0, Version: 4.2.4.1 Build ID: d4c441391e20647b3d2e8dde4d20aa868e77e515 (the last three parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel, and with Germanophone lang- as well as helppack) and LO Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 58fdcd262bf3476b6917c71e76ca6e49d0978c5f
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-04-20_23:10:06 (also parallel installed, but this one with en_US lang- as well as helppack) on Debian Testing i686 ... :( As I can reproduce it on an older version of LO 4.2.2.1, I will change the version adequately. And as I am using a 32 bit system, I will also change the platform entry to all ... ;)
HTH
Thomas.

Hi,
the bug according to Case 1 is still present in 4.4.3.2 and 5.0.0.0
I cannot however confirm Case 2 - "Level 2" remains there even for older versions LO 4.0 4.2 and 4.4. So, this information was probably not correct when reporting the bug)

The bug is present in OOo33

Hi,

I confirm Case 1 in Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ but I cannot repeat the problem described in Case 2.

Additional comments to Case 1: The problem occurs only if Numbering is unchecked in the Load Styles dialog. If it is checked, no problem occurs. However, according to the help, numbering styles should be loaded if "Numbering" is checked, so the styles should not change if not checked.

There seems to be a similar problem also with the Text checkbox. Works if checked. If unchecked (nothing checked except Overwrite), I expect that nothing changes on style loadin. However, the whole file is loaded, even the text.

Seems fixed IMHO

Case 1:

Can't repro.

I followed the instructions, applied the style and nothing happened. There was quite some bug fixing with bullets and numberings in the last releases, so maybe it's fixed.

Case 2:

Can't repro.

I imported the style OOoHeading2 into the new file and its outline level is 2.

The reporter himself and another forum member could not reproduce case 2 after the original posting - Maybe it was fixed shortly after creating the report?

Comment 9 sdc.blanco 2020-12-28 11:05:02 UTC
Cannot repro Case 1 and Case 2  (or in positive terms, using Load Styles results in the expected behavior in relation to the two cases).

Tested with: 

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 4041c68ea59181f1c4774c356809066d2051db41

Locale: da-DK (en_DK); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Based on this test and the test in comment 8, closing as WORKSFORME

(if there are still problems, then reopen and gives steps to show the problem)
