Scaling the width of characters via (de) _F_ormat - Zei_c_hen -> [Schriftposition] works well unless the whole cell-content is to be scaled. If *all* characters in the cell are scaled (to the same value), the cell-content is displayed at (respectively set to) 100%-width-scaling after hitting [Enter]. Steps to reproduce: 1. open new spreadsheet 2. enter some text into a cell [Enter] 3. select the cell with entered text and open for editing [F2] 4. select *some* (e.g. all but the last) characters in the cell 5. modify character-width scaling ( [Alt] + F , C , (Tab.) "Schriftposition" ) to e.g. 90% 6. select [OK] -> the selected text is displayed scaled to (e.g.) 90%-width. 7. [Enter] -> the text in the cell is displayed with the previosly selected characters scaled to (e.g.) 90%-width. so far so good 8. edit the cell again [F2] 9. select the previously *not* selected/scaled characters 10. modify the width-scaling as before to the same value - (e.g.) 90% 11. select [OK] -> the whole text in the cell is now displayed scaled (to e.g. 90%-width) 12. [Enter] current behaviour: the whole text in the cell is reset to 100%-width expected behaviour: the whole text in the cell should be displayed at the previously set width (e.g. 90%) OS: Linux (Debian/SolydK) Version: 4.2.5.2, Build-ID: 420m0(Build:2)
just updated LibreOffice - same behaviour in Version: 4.3.0.4, Build-ID: 430m0(Build:4)
Created attachment 104846 [details] Mixed results demonstrating this issue Test System: Kubuntu (KDE 4.13.3) LibreOffic 4.2.4.2 I hope I have duplicated the format. In English, I used Format - Character - font position(tab) - text width (used 70% to let me see the difference easier0 I am having mixed results. - Some of my text is holding the formatting. More often, it does not. - Capital vs lower case does not seem to matter. - I am not satisfied that I have exactly confirmed the problem. Am I using the intended formatting steps?
Yes, you do. The "mixing" behaviour is even more strange ... Did you format (scale) the whole text-content at once? And, I guess, you did the same steps for each of the three filled cells in your testfile. Right? Or did you do something different with the "working" cell?
Ok I just recognised: in the seemingly(!) working cell, you scaled the BEGINNING ("sym") with 60% and the ENDING ("bol") with 70%. So it's NOT THE SAME what I described (scaling all text in the cell to the same value [!=100%] ). Further details to the BUG(!): (1) If text with different scaling values is selected (e.g. in the filed testfile "symb" from field A1 - with "sym" scaled to 60% and the "b" scaled to 70%) and the scaling-dialog is called, then the scaling value field is NOT EMPTY (as usual for an attribute of a selection formatted to varying values, e.g. text formatted with various fonts or font-sizes) but shows "100%". (2) width-scaling for the whole cell-content works, if at the same time the spacing is trimmed (to e.g. "0.1 pt condensed")
