** Description changed:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
- When you wish to copy the formatting of some text onto another piece of
- text using the "format paintbrush", it nearly always changes the whole
- paragraph! I want it to change the formatting of what I apply it to,
- not ruin the whole paragraph lol.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
+ Release: 11.10
- Example: I have some text that is BOLD, SIZE 14 and DARK BLUE. I wish
- to apply this formatting to a few words. When I do this, the whole
- paragraph changes into the default font (Times New Roman, Size 12).
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
+ libreoffice-writer:
+ Installed: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3
+ Candidate: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3
+ Version table:
+ *** 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3 0
+ 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
+ 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
- Note to OpenOffice.org: this happens in the Windows version of
- OpenOffice too.
+ 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:
+
+ cd ~/Desktop && wget
+
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/525717/+attachment/2369876/+files/example.odt
+ && lowriter -nologo example.odt
+
+ when one uses the mouse and selects the blue text → clicks Format
+ Paintbrush → selects “jumps over” in the green text, only those two
+ words have their format changed.
+
+ 4) What happens instead is “jumps over” changed to the desired
+ formatting but the font, font color, and size of the words to the left
+ and right, as well as the paragraph justification changed to Default
+ Formatting.
+
+ WORKAROUND: Use the mouse and select the blue text → click Format
+ Paintbrush → press and hold the Ctrl key -> select “jumps over” in the
+ green text then let go.
+
+ Original Report Comments: Note to OpenOffice.org: this happens in the
+ Windows version of OpenOffice too.
