            Bug ID: 144610
           Summary: Font drop down does not function correctly throughout
                    the suite
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.1.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Anywhere throughout LibreOffice where there is a font selection dropdown,
choosing a different font has no effect whatsoever. In certain parts of the UI,
the system does not even acknowledge you have chosen a different font; in a
document, the font remains the default (or original formatting). 

This happens in all components of LibreOffice, as well as attempting to change
the default font in the Options dialog for any component.

Note: The font selection *list* in the Format > Character... and Edit Style
dialog boxes function as expected, as does changing fonts through
previously-defined styles.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select any amount of text in a document (or spreadsheet, presentation etc.)
2. Select a new font from the Font dropdown control on the toolbar (or tab bar)

OR while a component (Writer, Calc, Impress etc.) is open

1. Choose Tools > Options...
2. Expand "LibreOffice Writer" (or Calc, Impress etc.)
3. Choose Basic Fonts (Western)
4. Attempt to select a different font from any of the dropdown lists.

Actual Results:
The font does not change at all.
* In a document, the font remains what it was. The dropdown control retains the
name of the font you selected until it loses focus.
* In the Options dialog, the software acts as if you clicked out of the
dropdown list (or pressed Escape)

Expected Results:
The software should have changed the font of the selected text/cell, as well as
changing the font name displayed in the dropdown control. 
In the Options dialog, the software should retain the font you selected, as
well as changing the font in the user's profile/preferences data.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
