Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|NOTABUG |--- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #12 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #10) > * Is it really the correct behavior to start typing outside the tilde run, > rather than continuing it? i.e. is this mandated by OOXML? Still not sure about that, but probably not, see below > Is it an explicit policy choice of ours? No answer on that, so let's assume "no". > * Is it the behavior users would expect? No, because: > * Is this the behavior of MS Word? No! It's not the behavior of MS-Word. MS Word continues the tilde's run when you type after it. And - it seems like reasonable behavior to continue using the same character style/properties of the previous character in the table cell or paragraph, when there is no visible/tangible object or separation between the tilde and what you're typing after it. So, AFAIC, this should be confirmed. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > Not the tilde but the following (empty) character has this information. As Danat said - there is no such thing as an "empty character". Think about this from the user's perspective: Why should the user have to be surprised by some abstract entity they cannot even perceive? The user places the cursor after the tilde and wants to type; surely they want the typing to continue with the same Character Style as the tilde's... Even if there is some ODT entity with zero width and a CS other than the tilde's - so what? Let's leave that entity in place and continue typing after it. If need be, we should even open another span like the tilde's span, with the same properties. Either that, or we need some visual indication of the break in CS, which the user could then delete, or at least be aware of. (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #9) > The table cell of the imported cloud document *already* has Direct > Formatting (DF) applied. As you are typing additional content into the cells > your are picking up that DF. Yes, but - LO is not using the appropriate DF at this point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
