GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 62109
Font attributes lost when formatted via menu Format->Cells...
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Certain font attributes (bold, italic, underline, color) are lost when a group of cells with varying font attributes are formatted using menu Format->Cells... To Reproduce: Open a new sheet. Enter values/text in column A rows 1..5. Make cell A3 bold. Highlight column A and select menu item Format->Cells... and use the Alignment tab to make the column right justfied. Note that A3 is no longer bold. Curiously, the equivalent operation performed via the format toolbar works properly.
Doh! I owe you a beer for finding the oldest stupid bug so far. This behavior has been around for two years without our ever noticing. The fix is trivial we we just being silly. Patch will be in CVS shortly.
