Description Paul Blackburn 2015-09-13 09:25:17 UTC
Highlight a word or phrase and make it Bold - works fine, but after I save and re-open the document the word/phrase is no longer bold.
Comment 1 tommy27 2015-09-13 12:18:39 UTC
I don't reproduce it under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.0.1.2 

does it happen with any file or with some specific file or extension?
would you please provide a test file?

the document that caused the error

OK, the error doesn't appear in the current document (attached) as this is saved as a word 2007-2013 document. The error seems to have occurred when I inadvertently saved it as Word 2003 XML doc.
Comment 3 tommy27 2015-09-13 13:35:43 UTC
I tried the .docx you provided and made some text bold and saved either as .doc or .xml but I don't see any filesave issue.

are you still able to reproduce the bug? 
if yes, please give a step by step description
Comment 4 Paul Blackburn 2015-09-13 14:27:23 UTC
OK, try this:
create a Text file using Libreoffice.
1. type the following four lines with the second line being blank:
Test

test2
test3
2. highlight test2 make it Bold
3. save as Word 2003 XML doc on One drive
4. Close Libreoffice
5. open Libreoffice
6 Click on the Test document and the bold formatting has gone

I hope that works for you. I have to say I hadn't realised that I'd saved it to one drive, I hadn't intended it. Also not sure how Word 2003 XML is my default, I've now changed it. 

So, maybe a weird set of circumstances that no one else will have but worth knowing I guess.

Thanks for all your great work.

I still don't reproduce your bug
however I don't have OneDrive to test...
I saved the file under DropBox and no bold issue exists

is the bug specific to OneDrive saving or not?
Comment 6 tommy27 2015-10-01 18:34:31 UTC
please answer questions in my previous comment
consider upgrading to 5.0.2.2 too
Comment 7 Paul Blackburn 2015-10-01 18:47:43 UTC
Sorry Tommy, I missed your last comment. I only use OneDrive, but I've just tried it on GoogleDrive and that seems to work OK, So looks as though it's only this particular set of circumstances using onedrive.
