| Summary | 0011047: Creating a new paragraph style is creating a mess in the style hierarchy | ||||
| Description | Most of the time when adding a new paragraph style, at the time of applying the changes, the new style becomes the "mother style" of the others even if no "Based on" property has been set for the style. It messes the settings of all existing styles. It is happening randomly, without apparent reason and is really making the work hard.... It also sometimes happens when renaming the paragraphe style as reported on this bug : http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=9944 Same bug is happening with version 1.4.0 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Open new file 2. Open style dialog (F3) 3. Create first paragraph style 4. Create second, different paragraph style 5. Apply (the second style becomes the "mother" of the first one) (doesn't always happen, might have to close the style dialog, reopen and create a few more styles) See the attached pdf for demo. | ||||

I have set the severity as major because it is making the software nearly unusable since you have to constantly redefine your styles. Plus Scribus hangs if you keep the hierarchy as it is after the bug happens... |

hi jegaudin, this bug never happens to the people who may have the knowledge to fix it... and since it does not lead to a direct crash it's hard (for me) to where the issue is. somebody has to follow the code step by step and see where the offending code is... it takes time! |

thanks for your answer. I would be interested to learn how to trace this kind of bugs. I don't have the time now but will check it out later. Will try to finish the book I'm making with Scribus dealing with the bug... |

I can confirm this for older versions of Scribus (up to 1.4.0) in Ubuntu too. It's never happened to me in 1.4.1. |

I think this is the same as 0009944, where I just posted how to recreate this bug reliably. It happens whenever the 'name' field of a paragraph style is blank (which is why it appears to be random; who can remember if they deleted the whole field or if they just overwrote it?). I still have this happen in 1.4.3 and 1.5.0svn (8 Dec 2013). |

i suggest to close this bug as either duplicate or fixed |
