Description glibguide 2023-05-14 17:35:58 UTC 
Description:
Regarding a table in which there is coloured font, reformatting the table (by either adding or subtracting rows or coloumns) causes the font colour to switch back to black. I have also seen, in these instances, changes to the text alignment (from center aligned to left aligned). 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a document. Insert a table and fill with text
2. ctrl A and Change the colour of the text 
3. insert a row above or below any other row

Actual Results:
In the document I am currently working on, the colour of the text of the entire table reverted to black, and the text alignment in the top row (5 columns merged to 1) reverted to left align from its original centre align. 

Expected Results:
I expected that no colour or alignment changes to occur, and for the row to be added as per the normal rules.


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I have attempted to reproduce this problem using a brand new document. It didn't work. There's something wrong with the document that I am actually working on which produces this problem. I have been able to reproduce this problem on my current document several times in a row. This limits the amount of time/effort I can put in to reproducing the bug since I need this document to progress, not get messed up from tests.

This is happening on multiple tables in this document. 

Furthermore, ctrl z, to undo the row insertion, does not re-revert the text back to colour, nor does it re-revert the text alignment back to center. It stays in its bugged black, left-aligned form and the row disappears.

I created this video because the bug was not reproducible for me in test documents. It has only come up once for me, in this particular document. This seemed necessary to prove it was actually happening.
