Thank you for reporting the bug. I can't seem to reproduce the bug, so could you provide more clarification of the TOC settings in step 7 through an attached screenshot? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested information is provided. Created attachment 191892 [details]
Corresponds to steps to duplicate problem.
I ran though the steps I wrote just to make sure I didn't miss something. After step 3 it should say to click back in the document before pressing Ctrl+A. Step 4 should say to double click in the Styles pane on the right on the "Heading 1" style (which is under the "Heading" style. I started from a new document and took some screen shots along the way-- all attached and with the step number in the image name. I hope this helps. If you still need more or cannot duplicate it, I am availble to help-- and I am a veteran software engineer. Thank you, Paul Danko Created attachment 191893 [details]

I'm not sure which behaviour would be considered the bug: that the style is applied or that it is reverted with the update. There is discussion about style changes not taking effect in bug 134738. The reported behavior would be a bug because I want to change the format of the TOC and am unable to. On a particular level (the first level), I don't want leading periods out to the number. But I do on the lower levels. This currently cannot be done. I should be able to do it by changing the style template that level one is based on. The means is there so I do change it but it then does not take effect. What is telling level 1 to keep using the leading periods when I took that out of the style that it is suppose to be using? |
