Description Unknown 2003-07-17 22:35:53 UTC

Whenever one inserts a new text frame, all
text parameters are reset to the application default.

that means that at EACH typing, one have to
re-select at least the  font, font-size, font-colors.
That is painfull if, for instance, all you are doing is
putting together some images, and adding a label to
them. 

Please---do not underestimate it. I mean it's PAINFULL - and it
should not be hard to change this behaviour. I am comitted
to help other O.S. projects, or I'd try to fix this myself.
I just need this enhancement to be able to actually work using OO.

Does not Frame Contents control this behavior?  I have noticed
however, that it does not seem possible to have a custom frame
contents that will apply automatically.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

Comment 5 Prachi Miyan 2018-10-14 01:27:01 UTC

Successfully replicated the bug on Apache OpenOffice 4.2.0 Writer in Windows 10.

Comment 6 Prachi Miyan 2018-10-14 01:27:50 UTC

Replication steps:
Step 1: Open OpenOffice Writer and change the size, font and color (example: Vivaldi, size-16, color-red)of text and start typing on the text field. 
Step 2: Go up to Insert -> Header -> Default
Step 3: Add text to the header.
Result: The font automatically goes back to its default settings (Times New Roman, size-12, color-black) in the header.

Comment 7 Prachi Miyan 2018-10-14 01:28:21 UTC

Significance: While typing, most customers want to focus and go about adding text smoothly, without changing the format of the text. Automatic reset of the text format to default settings might be tedious for customers, especially if they are trying to focus or have a lot to type. As the text format resets itself, the customers might feel distracted from typing since they must configure the text settings frequently. This might lead to frustration and abandonment of the product.
