B becomes bold (success) but remains in > italics and/or underline and/or coloured highlighting (failure). > (Although in this instance, when I save, close and re-open document, the > bold formatting is still applied). This is bug 71481. See bug 71481 comment 16 and bug 71481 comment 18. In the case when the words A and B are both direct-formatted, and the italics of word B comes from character run properties, not paragraph, this could (and likely should) be improved. But note how really complex Writer's formatting layers/rules are; so given that character formatting may come from: 1. Paragraph style (applied to the paragraph directly, or from a style that this style inherits from); 2. Paragraph direct formatting; 3. Character style; 4. Character direct formatting, with additional differences when it spans over the whole paragraph or not; and that no italics may be either "no explicit setting for italics", and "italics explicitly disabled", which are really different options, I can only quote myself: (In reply to Mike Kaganski from bug 71481 comment #18) > UX-advise is required, with thoughtful analysis and some design specs before > "fixing" it. This implies, by the way, that this issue should only focus on "bug 1". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
