Created attachment 79437 [details] This attachment is a screen capture of a LibreOffice Writer window, showing the bug. I opened LibreOffice Writer to create a new English - simplified Chinese document. I set the font to size 16 "AR UL UKai CN". I entered some English text. Then I did a control-space to active ibus, so I could enter simplified Chinese characters. When I started entering the Chinese, the font size changed to 18.6. It reverts to 16 when I go back to entering English; it switches to size 18.6 whenever I resume entering Chinese. I consistently experience this bug in both Gnome and KDE, Fedora-18. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch LibreOffice Writer to create a new document. 2.Change the font to size 16 "AR UL UKai CN". 3.Enter a few words of English. 4.Activate ibus, so you can enter Chinese characters. On my system, ibus is configured to active when I do a control-space. 5.Start entering Chinese. Notice at the top of the Writer window, the font size is now 18.6. 6.After entering a few Chinese characters, de-activate ibus so you can enter English. On my system, I do control-space for that. 7. Start entering English. Notice at the top of the Writer window, the font size is back to 16. Actual Results: Font size is 18.6 when entering Chinese, 16 when entering English. Expected Results: Font size should not change when ibus is activated or de-activated. I did not try other desktop managers (e.g. xfce). I did not try other font faces or sizes. My system is Fedora-18, updated Tuesday. LibreOffice is version 3.6.6.2.
Hi Bill, have you look for the Chinese font size in the applied style.
I was not aware of that feature. I tried it. It solved the problem for that session. So I have a workaround. But when I exit Writer, and later re-launch Writer, the problem occurs again. I still believe this should be fixed. But if it's permitted, I'll lower the importance.
Hi Bill, then something is wrong, when you modify style, must be preserved saving a reopening. Can you attach a writer sample file.
I was unclear; I will clarify. When I use the applied style, enter some mixed Chinese and English text, then save and exit, then later re-launch Writer and edit the same file, everything works as it should. But if I later re-launch Writer to create another new file, the problem recurs. Do you still need another file attached?
I think I understand better your issue. What you need is change the style in your default template. Please take a look to this thread in: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/13371/change-default-template-in-writer-libreoffice-4/
Bill, did the method proposed by mariosv in comment #5 work? Can this bug be closed? Thanks.
It worked. This bug can be closed. Thank-you.
