--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #5) > Yes, this is a bug. And that's because the user can always choose to apply > the first text box' format uniformly, if they want to; but they can't > restore the second textbox' formatting of its former content, in the > consolidated box, after the consolidation. Let me clarify that: * If the formatting and placement of each text box is maintained on consolidation, the user can then always choose to apply the first textbox' format uniformly to the consolidated box. * If the placement of the second box and its formatting is forgotten upon consolidation, the user cannot restore it. Even if the second textbox used a named style - that won't help, since the vertical space between the textboxes is not captured anywhere. So, the consolidation should choose the less-destructive alternative. Now, Justin wrote that "It is the user's responsibility to afterwards fix up paragraphing, and set paragraph properties." - and that's fine; in fact, it agrees even better with my suggestion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
