Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer - Strange behavior of paragraph styles

Hi :)
It sounds like it's going completely crazy.  Have you tried renaming your user-profile to see if 
it's some weird settings?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

Is it a new fresh install of LibreOffice?  Which Operating System or platform; ie Windows, Ubuntu, 
soem other Gnu&Linux, Mac or Bsd?  Which version of LO, 3.5.0 perhaps?  Has your machine got any 
strange usb-dongles plugged in by some joker work-mate?  Retrevo or somewhere was advertising a 
usb-dongle that could be set to do crazy stuff at timed or 'random' intervals.  It beats chattering 
teeth or a whoppee cushion i guess.  

We have not heard of other people having this problem but that doesn't mean it's not happening to 
other people so it would be great if we could work out how to fix it quickly.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi, everyone.

Running LO 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) on Ubuntu 11.04 (Linux 2.6.38-generic-pae) w/ Gnome 2.32.1.

Find myself having to cope with some very strange behavior of paragraph styles, not previously 
encountered in any version of OOo.

I defined my 'Default' style as follows: font Ubuntu 12 regular, no indents, single spacing, 0.00" 
before and after, justified.

As I begin a new document and type a one-line paragraph, then press Return to start a new 
paragraph, all is OK.
If I press Return once more (adding an empty line), the previous paragraph gets indented without 
any prompting!
When I go back to the previous paragraph with "ArrowUp", the style changes - without any prompting! 
- to Text Body...

If I go back to the beginning of any Default or Text Body paragraph and press Return twice, the 
paragraph is transformed into text that is both bold and increased in size...

All of this, though, merely scratches the surface of my paragraph-style misadventures in LO.

It's enough to drive me insane, to the point where I'm seriously considering returning to one of 
the recent versions of OpenOffice.

FWIW i DID carefully read the manual on styles and templates. Like I said: no problems in OOo, a 
disaster in LO.
As an aside: can anyone tell me what difference there is between 'Default' and 'Text body'?

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to correct / troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance.
john
