Attachments: Loosing of pagebreak when direct format is lost - try.

Description robert 2014-01-10 20:04:56 UTC
Created attachment 91840 [details]
Loosing of pagebreak when direct format is lost - try.

Open the attached document:
1. Press Ctrl+A to select all content.
2. Press Ctrl+M to reset direct formatting.
3. Save the document.
4. Close the document and reopen it.

The "Text"-formatted paragraph, which starts at the second page with a manual pagebreak before, has lost the pagebreak and will be changed to "Default" paragraph.

It is the same behavior in all LO-Versions from LO 3.3.0beta1 up to LO 4.2.0rc2

Hi Robert,

The behaviour sounds logic since a hard page break is direct formatting (contrary to automatic page style sequences)..
Cioa,
Cor

Could be logic to delete the page-break. So I have to chose a separate paragraph-style, which I set for a page-break.

Not logic: The paragraph-style is reset from "Text" to "Default". 

1. When I clear direct formatting, I should only clear it to the style I have chosen.
2. When I clear direct formatting the consequence must be shown directly, not after saving and reloading.

Regards

Robert

hmm, I have some paragraphs Text block, some text bold, in one I change Format > Paragraph with page break, select some paragraphs, choose Format > Clear direct formatting ...
and the hard page break remains. In 4.2.0.2 on Ubuntu...

Could you test the attachment?
Have you saved the document, closed it and reopened it? The hard page break remains when you won't save the file.
I have just tested again with openSUSE 12.3 64bit rpm Linux and LO 4.2.0.rc2 - same here in all other versions I have tested.

Ah yes - why should I read your full instructions :-\
sorry > confirmed!
When I add the manual break to a paragraph Heading 1, that is preserved after saving and opening again..
So the change of style maybe only is Text block > Default ?

I changed the summary - maybe should be split up in two bugs, or stick with only the second problem (since the first is by design) ?
