Description bureautiquelibre 2012-04-18 02:24:42 UTC
Format paintbrush affects the formatting of non selected text.

Based on attached file:

Position the cursor in the item 3 line of the table, on any of the words "blah".

Click the format paintbrush icon.

Double click on word "line2-1" in "item 2" line.

Style is copied ok on the word line2-1 (no effect since the style is the same), but the font is changed to "TheSans Light" for the rest of the line .

.DOC file for style paintbrush test

Apologies for the delay,

Step 1: click somewhere in the word "Modification" in the second line, first row of the table.

Step 2: click on the format paintbrush

Step 3: select a part of the "Diagnostic de la situation"n text, for example: "de la" to apply the style.

The style applies properly to the selected part, but the part that was left out changes style also!

Forgot to mention that I had to recreate a test file since I lost the old one, that's why I changed the steps to recreate the problem.

I can confirm, reproducing the bug with the same steps.

For me, nothing happens.

The formatpaintbrush issue is still open. I have tried it with ms word (*.doc) and openoffice fileformat (*.odt) as well, and it does not work at all.

With LibO 5.2.0.3/Linux/de I could not reproduce the bug, though maybe I don't understand what goes wrong in the eyes of original reporter: the style of the mentioned line "Modification du processus" is Standard, applying it to the line "Diagnostic de la situation :" or parts of it does not change anything as they have also the style Standard, at least in my configuration. Therefore changing status to WORKSFORME. 

@reporter: Please be more specific with the description - what style exactly do you want to copy? Then the bug can be reopened.
