Summary: FORMATTING: Not possible to format auto layout text -
it's locked to outline style
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: du...@redhat.com
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.3.3 release
Component: Presentation
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
I've created a screencast to demonstrate this issue here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgKjpVtqB5Y
A specific use case that this bug prevents is styling the autolayout text on a
master slide to automatically be left-aligned, no bullets, no indent, such that
when a user creates a new slide using that slide master, when they start typing
in the slide it will not be left-aligned, no bullets, no indent.
There is no possible way to achieve this, currently. To give the slides the
look you want today, you basically have to run through every single slide
connected to that master and manually restyle the text, slide-by-slide.
It appears that the autolayout text box on master slides is locked to the
'Outline N' (where N is 1-10 I guess) style in the styles and formatting box.
I've tried a number of different ways to reset that so it used the 'Notes' or
'Text' style to no avail.
I have also tried deleting the autolayout text box to make a plain text box and
styling that, but it is not possible to delete to autolayout text box. The
other problem with that, of course, is that the text could only be edited on
the master and would propagate across all slides - it just doesn't solve the
problem of styling the text for template end-users.
This bug lessens the value of master slides because it severely limits the
style choices a designer creating a template can make with the template users.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new slide deck in Impress.
2. Go to the slide master and try to change the text block in the master slide
to a non-outline style. Try removing the bullets by turning off bulleting. Try
deleting the text.
3. Close the slide master and create a new slide using that slide master.
4. See how as soon as you add text to your new slide, it's given a bullet and
indent even though you removed that in the master.
Expected behavior:
I would expect to be able to apply styles from the styles & formatting tool to
the autolayout text on a slide master, and to have any slides created using
that master inherit that style in their text.
When I remove the bullets from the master slide sample text in the autolayout
text block, I expect that change to stick, and I don't expect - when using that
master slide to create a new slide - for the text on that new slide to be
bulleted and indented.
