            Bug ID: 127115
           Summary: language-agnostic styles
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.4 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lvm at royal.net

Description:
Currently style definition includes language (located on the Font tab of Style
dialogue). When style is applied to existing text its language is always reset
to the one defined in the style. In my opinion this behaviour is seldom
correct, typically style defines visual formatting and should leave language
information intact. In a single-language environment it is not a problem as one
can hardcode this language into all styles, but it doesn't work at all in a
multilingual environment. Please provide an option to define a style with no
language information and which will leave existing language information intact
when applied. Setting style language to None is not it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open styles (F11),rightclick on 'Heading 1', select 'Modify', go to 'Font'
tab and note the style language in the 'Language' picklist
2. type some text into the document, select it and apply a different language
(Tools-Language-For selection)
3. press ^1 to apply 'Heading 1' style
4. check the selection language (Tools-Language-For selection)

Actual Results:
selection language is changed to the language defined in the 'heading 1' style

Expected Results:
selection language should've remained unchanged


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
