            Bug ID: 136826
           Summary: LibreOffice Writer in modification mode: applying
                    italics format also turns on bold
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Working on a document in LibreOffice Writer in modification mode (all
modifications are recorded and shown on screen until approved or refused).
After selecting text and making it italicized, the text was also made into bold
type. Looking at the character format, the newly formatted text was (properly)
identified as italics, but was not identified as bold type. Turning on and off
bold had no effect. The only workaround that I have found is to retype the
text, placing the cursor at the desired spot, then turn on italicized format,
and erase the duplicate text that I was unable to make italicized but not bold.
Strangely, when I erase the previous duplicate text, the deleted text, which
will show up with a strikethrough, turns into italics but not bold. Another off
workaround is to select text and make into italics (it will be italics and
bold), then delete the newly formatted text (strikethrough in modification
mode), then decline the suppression; text will appear in italics only (not
bold). These workarounds are OK for short stretches of text, but is problematic
if large sections of the text need to be italicized WITHOUT bold. I have seen
this behavior in one document, but not another.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select text in plain format.
2.Format it in italics (Command-I on Mac, or Format - Text - Italics).
3.

Actual Results:
Text is both in italics and bold.

Expected Results:
Text should be in italics only (not bold).


Reproducible: Sometimes
