Tom,

yes, I switch off bold.  What is not clear to me at all in Writer (and in
Word) is to what character the codes switching on and off bold etc. are
attached.  I write every now and then texts with mathematics in them and
variable names are always in italics.  Sometimes I want to change a name,
say from x (italic) to ax (italic).  The way I did it in WordPerfect was to
put the cursor before the x and type an a - very easy.  In Writer you
cannot do that, as you get a normal a and not an italicised one.  I would
then guess that the on and off codes are stuck to the next character, which
might explain the behaviour mentioned by the OP.  I doubt somehow that this
is a bug.

Hi :)
Ahh, you reminded me!  Yes i used to like that feature of Wordperfect a
LOT too.  With Writer and Word i've always tended to switch on the
backwards P to show all non-printing characters.  It doesn't go quite as
far as Wp did but it's still a huge help.

Errr, most people seem to hate seeing those characters and seem to think
Writer is broken when they see them on my screen or see it as proof that
Writer is unusable.  So i have to switch them off a lot of the time, when
working with others :(

You seem to be the first person saying that you have seen the odd
behaviour in other versions of LibreOffice.  Are you sure you switched Bold
off?
Regards from
Tom :)

I seem to recall that this has always been the case, at least under Linux
Mint with various versions of LibreOffice.  Interestingly, if on the
second
line one puts some text (not in bold as one would expect) and then do
newline and move the cursor back up to before the text on line two it
shows
bold as being off.  (I have to say that one thing which I miss in Writer
and also in Word, when I used it, is the approach that WordPerfect used
(or
maybe still does if it still exists) whereby one could see the codes that
switched bold, and underlining etc. on and off.  One could then see
exactly
where the bolding started and stopped.)

Hi,

I have verified this in 4.4.0.0 alpha and 4.3.2.2 under Fedora 21

I can also see that the problem is NOT apparent under XP on 4.2.0.4.

What OS are you using?

Cheers

I have found a strange action by Writer. I think it might be a bug, but
I'm
not sure. At the moment I'm using LibreOffice Writer 4.2.6.3. But, I
have
verified this also in 4.3.1.1, 4.3.1.2, 4.3.2.2, and 4.3.3.2.

In a Writer text document, on a blank line, do this:

1. Turn on Bold either by Ctr+B or by toolbar button.
2. Type some text in bold font.
3. Before pressing Enter, Type Ctl+B to turn bold off.
4. Press Enter two times.
5. Press the Up arrow one time.
6. Look at the Bold toolbar button, Bold will be back on.

I just tested LibreOffice 3.5.4.2, and OpenOffice 4.3.1, both of those
do
not act this way.
