------- Additional comments from y...@openoffice.org Sat Nov 21 22:05:52 +0000 2009 ------- Such behaviour is a result of having the “Title” style applied to problematic text boxes. MS PowerPoint behaves the same way. It seems that this is not a bug but rather a “feature” of the “Title” style. Please use simplified “Invention Development and Design - abridged v8.odp” to reproduce this issue. -------------------------------- Slide #1 (Text in a main textbox is formatted with “Title” style) has this problem. “Bullets On/Off” button adds/removes only one bullet for the first line of the text. There are several ways to reproduce this problem: 1) Put cursor onto the last line of the text, do not select any text, and click “Bullets On/Off” button. 2) Highlight the whole block of text in this text box and click “Bullets On/Off” button. 3) Highlight the third line of text in this text box and click “Bullets On/Off” button. In all these cases a bullet can be added only to the first line of the text. Adding new lines using “Enter” key doesn’t change this behaviour. Note: This slide was originally created by openii_cameron. You should be able to recreate this issue in any presentation in both OpenOffice and PowerPoint by using a Title text box (on the top of a slide). Slide #2 (Text in a main textbox is formatted with “Default” style) doesn’t have this problem. “Bullets On/Off” button adds/removes bullets as expected. I created slide #2 by copying a text box from a “Normal” PowerPoint presentation to the current one. My speculations: --------------------- 1) I noticed that the problematic text box on a slide #1 was formatted with “Title” style. 2) By copying a text from slide #1 to MS Word I noticed that it looks like slide #1 has only one paragraph and that pressing “Enter” key inside a text box of a slide #1 adds a new line but doesn’t create a new paragraph. 3) Text in a title of a normal OpenOffice presentation also can have not more than one bullet. 4) MS PowerPoint manages bullets of a text formatted with “Title” style the same way; such text can have not more than one bullet regardless of the number of "paragraphs". 5) I believe that the text boxes of the original problematic presentation were created by copying and extending a text box of a “Title” of a slide. Identical behaviour was observed on OOO310m19 (Build:9420) and OOO320m2 (Build:9432) on Windows XP SP2. I failed to find a corresponding specification document on http://specs.openoffice.org. It seems that the OpenOffice design team is willing to bend over backwards to make its products compatible with MS Office products including design bugs and idiosyncrasies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
