            Bug ID: 137439
           Summary: FORMATTING: Writer forces font size in character style
                    definition
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
I want to define a character style which applies independently of the actual
font size. For instance, the characters should be bold italic both in the
running text (12 pt) and in footnotes (11 pt).
Writer does not allow this; it forces me to specify a font size for a character
style.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL-F5
2. Right click 'Default Character Style'
3. New
4. Font
5. Family: Liberation
6. Style: Bold Italic
7. Size: Delete box content
8. Tab

Actual Results:
Writer supplies: 2 pt

Expected Results:
Size should be left unspecified.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Forcing 2 pt into the definition is a bug.
More generally, a character style may specify just any character attribute,
leaving all the others unspecified. Unless the style is hierarchically
subordinate to another one from which it inherits properties, unspecified
properties should be inherited contextually from the paragraph containing the
character thus styled.
