Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108093
Superscript, subscript and overline do not work on single characters.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:17:33 UTC
When trying to subscript a single character, such as the "2" in H20, the only way to get it to work reliably is to subscript the "22" in H22O and then remove one of the 2s. This also happens with any other single character. I noticed today that this issue manifests with superscript and overline as well. To replicate this bug: 1. Type a few characters like: abcd2 2. Highlight the "2" and then right click and select "Subscript" from the "Style" menu. Occasionally this will work on the first try. Other times it will work if I select "Subscript" a second time. Other times it will not work at all. Generally it can be worked around by adding multiple number characters or just copying and pasting something else that is subscripted and changing it.
MRU->OS: only reproducible on Mac. In new text document, writer H2O, select "2", via context apply style "subscript" (all others work fine) -> whole text is subscript. Using Format.Character.Position the problem does not occur. Maybe a wrong initialization, because after doing it via Format.character, it will also work via context.
