Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 65055
Keep small bullets as default in old documents (like sxw)
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:42 UTC
Every bulleted list in a new document has big bullets instead of normal sized bullets, since I have become the attached file from a friend and since I have used grafical bullets for lists at one time. Uninstall, deletion of all profile information and new install of OOo have no effects. Reproducable at the friend's OOo 2.0.2. It's frustrating to manually change bulleted lists at all times. Version: OpenOffice.org/2.0$Win32 OpenOffice.org_project/680m5$Build-9011
Created attachment 36251 [details] Big bullets with every new bulleted list
Addition: This issue occurs with creating bulleted lists with the button "bullets" in the "Bullets and Numbering" toolbar.
The change of the bullet symbols is intended. See Issue 42357 and specification http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/numbering/NumberingBullet1.sxw.
Closed.
Reopened issue. After recorresponding with the submitter, I now exactly know what this issue should be about.
MRU->FL: this is a good thing, we should really consider. In old documents (sxw, sdw) we should have a compatibility flag so that the small bullets will be used as default (via button).
FL->MRU: The behavior to keep the old, small bullets in old documents was intended all the time. See section 7.10 of the Numbering 1 spec.: http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/numbering/NumberingBullet1.sxw Seems that we should change this for a product update. I will add an example to the Num 1 spec., so that this becomes clearer. Furthermore I set type of this issue to defect.
FL->OD: I have updated the spec. with an example: http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/numbering/NumberingBullet1.sxw Maybe it is a better idea to always use the bullet set used before in the document by default. Is this possible? This would be a solution regardless which version has been used to create the document. What's about a PU target for this fix?
adjust target milestone to 2.x
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
setting keyword "numbering"
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
