Description Norman Lambert 2015-02-25 12:08:30 UTC
If I wish to change font in a Writer or Calc document I simply select the new font from the drop-down box in the Formatting toolbar. Trouble is that the new selection shows in black with a green background over the old one. For example if I open the document in Baskerville font and wish to change to Arial, the change is made, but the box shows "Arial" in black-on-green sitting on top of "Baskerville". So it reads "Arialrville" with the first half in black over green and the second half in black over white. To show it properly I have to save the document and reopen it.

Hi, is it possible to take a screenshot and attach a document?

Sorry, No.  Further investigation shows that if I close the window and reopen it, the currevt font shows clearly as it should.  Taking the screenshot does the same thing.  The screenshot shows what should be there, and when I reopen the LO window the fault has corrected itself.  Annoying, but not fatal.

What is your Linux distro and desktop environment? What about your graphics card and driver?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
