Description David W. Snow 2022-01-01 18:30:13 UTC
Description:
I have been working on my 2020 Macbook Air M1 for about 9 months. I use LibreOffice writer a lot. I NEVER use direct formatting, except for bold and italics. Yet I find chunks of text with direct formatting (font size, typeface, etc). I fix these via (remove direct formatting, default character style) throughout the document.   This happens over and over.

My book technical template uses 8 page styles of 6x9" size. I wanted to make a report template with different page sizes and margins. When I adjust a page size, multiple page styles would change. When I set a page sto a specific style. multiple pages would change.

I booted up my old Intel 2012 Macbook Pro and tried the above with the same version of LibreOffice Writer and all worked well! So these problems appear to only show up on Apple Silicon.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take the attached file, Change page size on pages to 8.5x11" and margins to 1".
2. Apply Body Recto style to a FM Recto page
3. See what pages change page-style. There will be more than one.

Actual Results:
Multiple pages change page-style.

Expected Results:
Only one page should change


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

Is there a plan for when the mac version of LibreOffice will be "Universal" rather and "Intel?"  It looks as though Apple will be only making "Apple Silicon" Macs by the end of this year!

David, do you use the ARM version of LibreOffice on your M1 macbook?
Comment 4 David W. Snow 2022-01-16 23:37:39 UTC
When I wrote this I was using the Intel version. I have since cheched this with the M1 version. BTW the M1 version liats itself as an IOs version.  Can I actually run it on OOs?  Most other M1 apps list thjemselfs as Universal.

I tested this even though I don't have a Mac, in case this is a generic problem. I did not see any unusual change after step 3, I checked until page 35. It would be best, if you mentioned what pages get the unwanted style change.

From comment 4 I understood you also saw this with the M1 build. Do you still see this with 7.4?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
