Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

If you set a style's font size to a pt value, after that you cannot save that value as a percentage one any more.

Reproduce it this way:
- open a new oowriter doc
- write something: it will have the default style
- in the styles drop down list write a new style name, i.e. "new style", and press enter: now the paragraph has the "new style" paragraph, which is based on "default"
- open the "new style" properties, set the font size to 90% and save the style
- open the "new style" properties, you'll see that the font size is still 90%
- you can play and change font size to whatever percentage you want, after saving and reopening it you'll always see the correct percentage value
- now set the font size in the "new style" properties to "12pt" and save it
- reopen the "new style" properties, set the font size to 90% and save the style
- reopen the "new style" properties, you'll see that the font size isn't 90%, but the corresponding value in pts

At this point you see that you haven't any more the possibility to save the font size in percentage, loosing the possibility to modify the font size when modifying the underlying style's font size.

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you test if it still occurs on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 526971

Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report.

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference bug 526971 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug openoffice.org

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released' or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

I tested it in lucid, something got better, but not all.

- The bug is still present if I set the percentage font size to 100%
- The bug has been fixed for percentage font size other than 100%

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
