Description Martin Sauter 2015-08-31 05:48:00 UTC
* Open a new Calc document and input two or three sentences of text in a cell. 
* Format a part of the text, but not all of it, in bold or italics. 
* Leave the cell
* Go back to the cell
* Modify the text of the cell but NOT in the cell itself but in the general input field at the top of the window

Problem: When pressing the SHIFT key and releasing it, the formatting of the text is removed. This is not a display error but the formatting information is lost when pressing the button.

One can circumvent the problem by editing the text in the cell rather than in the general input box. However, this is not possible in my case as the text is longer than what can be displayed in the cell due to my limited notebook screen size.

I tried Libreoffice 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and also 5.0 with Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04, all have the same issue.

Reproducible with LO  5.0.0.5
ID build: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b, win7

@Martin - would be nice to find out if this is a regression or not by testing older versions: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
Comment 2 Martin Sauter 2015-08-31 20:28:03 UTC
Well, it's in since at least 4.2 so it's definitely not a bug that was added recently.
