Bug ID: 161866
Summary: Writer AutoCorrect options "Delete spaces..." require
"Apply styles" but no indication this is required
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ashley.robjo...@gmail.com
Description:
The two options "Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end of paragraph" and
"Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end of line" both require the "Apply
Styles" option selected also however there is no in-application indication of
this. It is specified in the 24.2.4 help pages as follows:
Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end of paragraph
Removes spaces and tabs at the beginning of a paragraph. To use this option,
the Apply Styles option must also be selected.
Delete spaces and tabs at end and start of line
Removes spaces and tabs at the beginning of each line. To use this option, the
Apply Styles option must also be selected.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In AutoCorrect options page the two options for "Delete spaces...." are
selected by default for "replace while modifying existing text", and
"AutoCorrect while typing". Both of these options will only work if "Apply
Styles" is selected also, but there is no in-application indication this is the
case.
2. The "Apply Styles" option is not selected by default. Thus it appears the
"Delete spaces...." options should work out of the box, however they don't
because "Apply Styles" is disabled.
Actual Results:
Both "Delete spaces...." options do not work with default settings because
"Apply Styles" is not selected by default.
Expected Results:
The "Apply Styles" option should be enabled by default to allow both "Delete
spaces..." options to also work out of the box.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Furthermore, there should be some in-application indication that "Apply Styles"
is required for the "Delete spaces..." options to work. Perhaps the "Delete
spaces..." options should be nested under "Apply Styles" and disabled unless
"Apply Styles" is activated.
