Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87397
Wrong character size after "Undo" if changes are tracked but not shown

I can provide an odt text with strange behavior you can reproduce in it. There are strings in text that become directly formated to the font size of the style without being manually formated - I can not prove it so it is not the bug I report. The reported bug is that when you delete these strings while change tracking is on then this formating first disappears as intended but then will return. Say there is word 'method' having format of the paragraph style, let it have 9pt, and there was a space after it which space had a property of 14pt fontsize but was deleted. I write letter 'a' to the end of method it will show up correctly in 9pt. Then at an other place of text I delete another space with that mentioned stickie formating and write an x or whatever in its place. Then return to the word 'method' which has already become 'methoda' and write a 'b' between d and a, and this 'b' will show up in 14pt. I cant find how to attach this odt to this bug report, if I could I will provide the steps to reproduce it.
Created attachment 52271 [details] the odt
Use your mouse to place the cursor with one click. Use your keyboard only for writing not navigation. Steps: - open the odt (...bx1b) - visually locate the line with 'Let us call this', and then the next line with word 'method' - place the cursor *after* the letter 'd' of the word 'method', between the d and the space - hit letter 'a' - on the formating toolbar check that it is 9pt, now you have pretty looking word 'methoda' - now visually locate word 'Not' before the highligthed word 'forcing'. - place the cursor before the letter 'N' of that 'not' - hit backspace to delete the space before that 'N' and after the point. - hit 'x' letter, which will be 14pt - using one mouse click place the cursor *between* the letter 'd' and the new letter 'a' of the word 'method' - hit letter 'b' - is this 'b' bigger then the 'a' in the word 'methodba'?
MRU->AMA: to reproduce in the attached document - in 3rd line of paragraph "In my research..." place cursor at the end of word "method". - delete the space and enter any character - trigger Undo two times -> now the space has size 14pt instead of 9 pt.
