Description fsanchez 2013-03-30 00:51:02 UTC

I will try to describe this problem the best I can.

As the title says, paragraph styles defined using Karbon disappear sometimes after closing and reopening the file.  But... sometimes just one style is missing :-( As I said, it pretty chaotic.

Please, don't hesitate and making questions.

Regards.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
It is pretty chaotic: sometimes it doesn't happen the first time, but the second. In other words one must:
1) Create a new ODG file, and save it with some text and custom paragraph styles, and close it
2) Reopen this file, add more text boxes, give them any of the already defined styles and close it.
3) Reopen once again
Actual Results:  
The file has lost all styles.

Expected Results:  
The styles should remain in the file for using them...

I think it's a major bug, because it is a broken feature, but since I'm not a developer and I dont understand a lot about this, I'm leaving it as normal...

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

The bug is still present in Karbon 3.0.1 installed from Kubuntu 18.04 repositories. I don't know if this is the last version of Karbon but if it doesn't, it is likely it is still there if nobody has worked on Karbon.

It seems that Karbon doesn't store the styles inside the ODG file and if it does, it doesn't do it properly because LibreOffice can't read them (neither Karbon after reopen it).

Best regards

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
