Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61143
save user-set format at every caret position for every caret position
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:25 UTC
situation: type a word without italic style. type blank. activate italic style. type word (italic). type blank. deactivate italic style. when typing something now it will become italic. but pressing CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT before typing again will discard italic style at the very last position. compare that to this situation: write text. press CR. press CR. write text. position cursor on blank line between paragraphs. activate italic. that applied style will persist though no text has been selected on which the style change has been applied. I know that this behaviour is normal for writing apps but perhaps it can be improved
Reassigned to requirements.
you mixed sth. there: "when typing something now it will become italic": it will become Not italic. "pressing CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT before typing again will discard italic style": will Reacitvate italic style. It's here where there is inconsistency to your latter example: the set text format non-italic is not saved (in general no text format is saved for any caret position, it's mostly the last characters format (=> rewording summary); as for new lines there is no character this is saved with the caret (execption!))
