Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81764
Char attributes (italic, bold, underline) doesn't toggle on/off properly when paragraph starts with them

Italics in Writer will turn on with either Ctrl-I or by clicking the Italics button but will not turn off using either method once something has been typed. It can be turned off only by highlighting subsequent text and clicking the Italics icon or Ctrl-I. This was not happening with OOo 2.2.1. This does not affect Bold or Underline.
I cannot see the problem. Could you attach a document where the problem occurs? Is it perhaps a certain language?
I can confirm the problem on Oo 2.3 with both italics and bold on Windows XP Home SP2. It is not document related. It happens on a blank new document. Quote from the Oo Writer forums: arjwf said: Hmmm, a possibly-related problem: sometimes OOO 2.3 won't let you even start using bold/italics/underline if that attribute was used at the beginning of the line. For me, this reproduces the problem every time: (1) Start OOO Writer. (2) Press Control-B (or click the Bold icon) and type "foo", then press Control-B again. (3) Type " bar " (a space, then 'bar', then another space) (4) Press Control-B (or click the Bold icon) and type 'baz'. Step (4) will NOT turn on bold mode, as it should, and the 'baz' will not appear in bold. Oddly, italics and underline work just fine. Similarly, if you start the line with underline instead of bold, then 'baz' won't appear in underline (but bold or italics work fine.)
I confirm the problem. Also, if you start a line off in italics then leave italic mode, you get the corresponding problem.
Ah, you have to start the paragraph with such an attribute - that is the essential information ;-) MRU->FME: looks like a problem with the "automatic styles". Start a paragraph with e.g. "bold" attribute, type some characters, turn off "bold", type some chars -> now it is not possible anymore to turn on "bold" again.
SBA: Set OS and Platform to "All", set keyword "regression" (Was OK in OOo 2.2.1).
Looks like this was introduced with the code changes made for i75750. Investigating...
fme: Fixed in cws sw8u9bf01, thints.cxx rev. 1.52.114.1.14.1

In the example, the workaround is to click Format->Default Formatting after typing bar and before step #4.
