good catch Jay.
I confirm regression in 4.3.0.2 where the bullets are dark gresy instead of purple like in 4.2.x

tested under Win7x64

thanks tommy. wish to see you in the IRC sometime :)

seems that i'll have to go through my extensive interoperability tests again once 4.3 is officially released, to see how it compares with my 4.2.4 results.

I am not convinced this is a regression or even a bug. As I commented here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77797#c5

... this appears to be a case of the XML previously (under v4.2.x) not being correctly interpreted, where now (v4.3.x) it is. The XML for the first item of the unordered list on the first page of the document is:

<w:p w:rsidR="0054188B" w:rsidRPr="003A3302" w:rsidRDefault="0054188B" w:rsidP="003A3302">

All the w:color elements specify grey (505050) rather than the purple (68217A) indicated. Even in the associated styles.xml file the only definitions specifying a color of 68217A are: Heading1 (paragraph), Heading2 (paragraph), Heading1Char (character), Heading2Char (character), Header (paragraph), and Sidebarheading (paragraph).

word 2013 pdf version of the docx file

Well it seems confusing that 4.2.5 shows it in purple and 4.3.0 shows it in grey, so your saying 4.2.5 is showing it incorrectly then. And that is so, why does word 2013 show it in purple, as show in the attached pdf.

It's interesting because I don't see the bullet arrows at all on my system and only see hollow boxes.

@Jay - special font of some kind needed? Are you opening this in Windows or Linux or both?

Here is the list of fonts used by the docx - Symbol, Times, Courier, Wingdings, Wingdings 3, Segoe UI, SegoeCondensed, Arial, Segoe UI Light, Tahoma, Verdana. I have them installed on both systems, thats the only way you can do real extensive testing like i used to do. :)

Looking forward to the 4.3 release so i can do tests just comparing 4.2 vs 4.3 and see how far interoperability has improved/deteriorated since my last round. Better get ready for alot of bibisect requests joel. :)

works in 4.2.5.2, broken in 4.2.6.1

    handle direct formatting for numbering in .docx (bnc#875717)
    

the relevant part of word/numbering.xml is apparently:

        <w:color w:val="68217A"/>
      </w:rPr>
    </w:lvl>


this is imported as char style "ListLabel 1",
with the right colour in it as displayed by the style dialog,
but in the document grey is displayed instead.

Apologies to both Jay and others. My mistake. Thanks for correcting me Michael.

(This is an automated message.)

It seems that the commit that caused this regression was identified. (Or at least a commit is suspected as the offending one.)

Thus setting keyword "bisected".
