Description georginikolov 2003-10-25 19:38:32 UTC 
The steps to reproduce the problem are:
1) Create a slide in the Presentation component
2) Enter some text
3) Highlight one or more of the characters
4) Select (Format->Character) OR (right click->Character)
5) In the position tab, select Superscript OR Subscript
6) Press OK

The expected result is that the position of the highlighted characters will 
change to represent superscript or subscript depending on the selection. 
The actual result is that nothing happens.

The problem can be avoided by deselecting the check box "Automatic" in the 
Position tab. Unfortunately this might lead to inconsistency throughout a 
presentation created by a user due to the lack of an established default value.

Comment 2 christian.guenther 2003-10-27 10:12:21 UTC 
I can reproduce the bug when I change the 'Relative font size' to 100%.
This behaviour is ok because the 'Automatic' setting prevent that the
supperscript/subscript text is beyond the upper or lower 'Text border'.
Would the supperscript/subscript text be beyond the text border the
line spacing would change and this would be prevented with the
'Automatic' setting.
Comment 3 georginikolov 2003-10-27 15:31:49 UTC 
I see. Then probably the problem is in the box at the bottom in the 
position tab that shows how the text would look like after a change. 
When relative font size is set to 100%, selecting 
superscript/subscript radio buttons changes the display of the 
letters in that box. If you press Ok, it doesn't change them in 
practice.

I think changing the preview is a feature and not a bug.
Please have a look.

Why is this bug open and unconfirmed for nine years?

It is my impression that the suggested feature works in recent OOo versions, so
please close this issue as Worksforme

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