I can confirm this bug in 3.4.4 release. To reproduce: 1: Create a character style (*not* a paragraph style) named StCParent. 2: Create a character style StCChild, set "Linked with" to "StCParent". 3: Enter ie. 50% in Font Size of "StCChild". 4: Enter some text and apply "StCChild" character style to it. 5: Change Font Size of "StCParent" to let's say 36pt. 6: Text size will not change, when it should change to 18pt (50% of 36pt). 7: Go to character style properties dialog of "StCChild" and click Apply. Now the text size changes, as expected earlier in step 6. Everything works properly with paragraph styles, though. It really is a shame, that after all these years, with all those new features and improvements being introduced all the time to the software, such a seemingly basic and crucial glitch has not been fixed yet. [This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.

Yours! Florian still present in 3.5.5.3, it's a very annoying long lasting bug: you cannot define a font size style as 100% of another style font size! IMHO there are two different (but maybe related) bugs in this issue: 1) The original description (and the linked AOO bug report) talk specifically about "defin[ing] a font size style as 100% of another style font size", and so does comment #7. 2) Comment #1 mentions a (maybe even more important) general problem about relative font sizes in character styles. I can confirm both issues [REPRODUCIBLE] with LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 (Build ID: 4db6344), German langpack installed, on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel). I have to lower the severity a bit, because "critical" are only bugs which cause crashes, massive data loss, etc. No offence! This does not mean that this bug is not important; it just means that there are even more important bugs ... @ our Writer experts: Hello Cédric, Michael, and Miklos, this is yet another interesting bug report for Writer. The form of the report is a bit unlucky (IMHO there are two related bugs involved in this issue, see my comment #8; if you want I can split the bug into two distinct reports!), but it is nevertheless important -- inconsistent behaviour is already especially annoying for users. There is also a link to a related Apache OOO bug report which already contains some hints to the roots of at least one of both issues. So please take a look at this report. Tell me if I (as a simple bugwrangler) can do anything to help you with fixing this issue. Thank you very much in advance! Restricted my LibreOffice hacking area Should be set to NEW not REOPENED. Changing per comment 8. |
