Hi Tim, Works fine for me. In any case, if I understood your problem well. Could you pls attach a sample file, with such passages that need to be selected together and then one wants to change the font of all selected text at once? Thank you, Cor. I just created a new file, with a little bit of notes followed by two Bible passages copied from my e-Sword Bible Study software. The passages are Ecclesiastes 1:1-4 and 1:5-8, with one blank line separating them. If I select only one of the passages (with no surrounding lines), it works fine. If I select both (and thus have that blank line between them), using the dropdown box in the formatting toolbar, it fails like I described. If I use the "Format" menu and choose "Character..", it works. The file I'm uploading is "Test 1 - Eccl 1.odt". Created attachment 82873 [details]

Thanks Tim. Interesting problem that I can confirm. I tested in 4.1.0 rc3 One still can use the list by typing the first letter of the font name. Or by using Pg-Down. But still, it should be easily possible by using the mouse too ;) Now, as long as I point to the slider, I can go down and the focus of the list stays where I go. But as soon as I move the mouse to the list, the focus goes up. Any idea if it worked better in previous versions? (Would not be surprised if the preview of the fonts in the list has to do with this). Tested on Linux 32 bits I didn't try the PgDn key, but I DID try typing the first letter or first few letters. Ass soon as I stip typing, or even before I stop, it shoots back up to the top. I had not run into it before, but then I'm normally only trying to change one contiguous section. This worked fine in 3.6 (am not able to do more precise testing, appols)
So it is a regression.
Caolán (or the appropriate collegue):
- use attachment 82873 [details]
- select all text on page 1
- open the font drop down list with the mouse and drag it below
(- maybe move the mous pointer a bit on the fonts list)
> list jumps back up
it is already fixed on master and libreoffice-4-1 by: commit e2484e3998f2c5036fb8e3584d4b1c72db19bfd3 Author: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@suse.cz> AuthorDate: Tue Jul 16 18:26:18 2013 +0200 fdo#63273 sw: let word count not update stat. fields Updating fields would generate loads of selection change events and it's not what we asked for. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 63273 *** I'm confused by Michael Stahl's post today (I don't understand how this problem is a duplicate of bug 63273), but the problem I reported does seem to be fixed in version 4.0.5.2. Thank you. The root cause of the two problems were the same. Thank you. |
