I am not a LO expert, I am just trying to create a simple document. I want to define my styles so that "Normal" is defined as a Sans Serif font, and so others styles like Header 1/2/3 inherit from that. I go to Format / Create and Modify Styles, select "Normal" and then [Modify...], then [format] and "font". From that point, the Font dialog box is completely unresponsive. I can not click on the tabs (Font, Text Color, Highlight Color), and the buttons and checkboxes do not work. I *can* scroll the lists using the scrollbar on the side, but I can not select anything in the lists. The only way out is to completely kill LibreOffice. Running on Ubuntu 11.10 in an XFCE desktop environment.
Thanks for bugreport Please, verify if in last version of LibreOffice still reproducible
Tested on LO 3.4.4 on Linux Mint 12. The entire styles menu has changed since I wrote this bug. I am no longer seeing this problem. Thanks for the updates!
Marking fixed.
(RESOLVED/WORKSFORME is more appropriate: the issue was not fixed in the strict sense of the word, is is just no longer reproducible, see comment #2.)
