Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61270
Cannot apply/revert via toolbar font styles to more than 999 paragraphs
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:25:43 UTC
If you select 1000 or more plain formatted paragraphs you can apply a font style such as Bold, Italic or Underlined to them via toolbar or keyboard shortcuts but you can't then revert the formatting via toolbar or keyboard shortcuts. 1. Create a text with 1000 or more paragraphs (I will shortly attach a sample). 2. Select all. 3. Apply Bold via toolbar. All paragraphs are typeset in Bold now. 4. Click again on the Bold icon in the toolbar. Expected: 5. Bold formatting is removed. Actual: 5. OOo does not recognize the text as Bold (it succeeds with 999 paragraphs, but not with 1000 or more); the button for Bold isn't highlighted as it should, but no explicit warnings are shown; clicking on the Bold icon results in applying Bold again. At the very least, OOo should warn that the selected text size exceeds a limit, or the limit should be documented somewhere; toolbar icons could be greyed out when the text exceeds OOo capacity. I reckon this is a bug and not a feature request: if I receive a text with 1001 bold paragraphs and want to set a plain style, I cannot go through the usual keyboard shortcuts or the toolbar, and I'm forced to go through the Format -> Character dialog. Nothing in the documentation warns about these limitations of toolbar/keyboard commands. [Reported by Andrea on the Italian mailing list]
