Heiko uses stereotype users once in a while to make an argument. In this case you have people using Default PS styles (their is the default style & default style for footer, which are set automatically) and are adjusting everything to their needs using DF. There is also a group who tends to avoid DF as far as possible and create the formatting they want with PS/CS. If someone who avoids DF as far as possible to somebody who get is work done with DF, you get a nice mess. There are 'to cases'. * DF formatting while typing. Turning bold on (CTRL+B) starting typing, Unbold (Press CTRL+B) keeps going on with DF unbold (instead of disabled) * DF at the end. Selecting a line of text, pressing bold/ followed by unbold. (Text looks back to PS style, but it's actually DF). Practice is of course that both are done together. Also there are plenty of ways how DF can be introduced (say copy/paste RTF/HTML). You disable it in the toolbar, but still DF formatting being present. Negative effects: * The document being riddled with (function-less; and likely even unintended)DF formatting in the XML (Thomas Lendo). This is not a visible problem; but plays in the background. * The ideal of quick Styles changes is practically undone in real life. You have to use the a Style Inspector/Style viewer the get rid of the evil. Not as small clean up, but as a Herculean task. So the advantage of PS is nearly gone. -- The whole point is, unbold DF is invisible/pointless in an unbolded paragraph style. Similar as no-fill is being pointless in a not-highlighted text. This becomes only noticeable after PS change. Or walking through they document with Style Inspector. I'm still not exactly clear to me in what pitfall i'm trapping. Where the 'bad idea' begins.. Following are examples i used. 1. Press CTRL+B 2. Type AAA 3. Press CTRL+B: result DF unbold for the up following text. Expected bold disabled 4. Select AAA; press unbold again. Expected bold DF formatting removed of the area AAA. Actually: unbolded (DF) New document 1. Default PS Style -> Modify -> Font -> Enable Bold 2. Type AAA 3. Press CTRL+B: result DF unbold for the up following text (fine) 4. Select AAA 5. Press CTRL+B again: result DF bold for AAA. Expected: Removal of the unbold DF So they only thing I said was; if PS is unbolded, Pressing CTRL+B enables bold; Press CTRL+B again and it get turned off, instead of unbold. The result will be the same as always. This is only relevant for PS/CS The question is of course what should happen here: 1. Open new document 2. Type AAA [SPACE] [CTRL+B] BBB [CTRL+B][SPACE] CCC 3. Default PS Style -> Modify -> Font -> Enable Bold -> what should happen with DF formatting here. A) Nothing AA-> What happens when selecting AAA and pressing BBB here (removal of bold or unbold?). Naturally would be unbold. B) Inverse (unbold) C) DF should get removed (seems easier, but what if people messing around. So enabling bold.. applying and resetting it to regular.. The DF would be gone. Undesired, IMHO I might have missed something; however I'm not seeing a clear issue with this approach. Where this doesn't deliver the expected results. BTW, you might be misconceived by they way i presented this. I'm fan of getting things done; I'm surely not structuring my formatting in advance. So I surely don't think in document structures (i'm would even declare myself a Benjamin user who wants to desired result on screen without caring about technicality's ). Or advanced knowledge of styles. The problem 'started' at the point where you want to try PS/CS. It simply doesn't work because the document is riddled with DF. Which couldn't see in advance (yes you can now). And the hidden DF isn't intended nor needed. I read the same problem n Luke & Thomas their comments. However, this plays not only for simple toggle button.. but is also the case with font/ font size drop down or the highlighting/font color. And those need slightly different modification to get the same result as with the bold toggle button.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
