---- Reported by stuart.jarvis@gmail.com 2010-06-09 23:44:25 ---- Created an attachment OpenDocument Presentation illustrating the problem Version: 2.2 (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux When selecting a list style to make bullet points (for example) the list marker neither resizes depending on the font size nor repositions so for large fonts it is above the bulk of the text. This applies in KWord and KPresenter at least, but it is more of an issue in KPresenter where a large font is more commonly used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Type some text Select a list style from the drop down dialog Adjust font size (order of the above is not important) Actual Results: List marker has fixed size and is located at the top of the text line Expected Results: List marker resizes with font or at least repositions to centre vertically in the line ---- Additional Comments From zander@kde.org 2010-09-26 22:38:56 ---- This is not technically a bug; the style defines the size of the bullet and you likely set the font to be bigger on the text, not on the paragraph size. The proper solution is likely to guess what the user wants by setting the font size on the block when the user changes all the text in the paragraph. ---- Additional Comments From stuart.jarvis@gmail.com 2010-09-30 15:26:43 ---- Ah, I found a feature ;-) I can see now how it is not technically incorrect, just a little counter-intuitive - from behaviour of other word processing applications . The solution you suggest of synchronising paragraph font with text font would make a lot of sense. Should I leave this bug open to track progress on that? ---- Additional Comments From zander@kde.org 2010-10-01 10:58:28 ---- Yes, please leave it open. I think this is an essential feature that is currently missing and which makes using KWord harder than it needs to be. So I fully agree its task to keep open on bugzilla so we don't forget it :) Thanks for reporting it, btw! --- Bug imported by faure@kde.org 2010-12-16 00:31 --- This bug was previously known as bug 241249.

Will leave it open, although i'm not completely sure we want it to behave like that
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
This issue persists as originally reported (tested today in Calligra Words Version 3.2.1 on Fedora 33. The workaround mentioned by Thomas still exists (explicitly set paragraph font), so this is really just something that works differently to all other word processors I have used and so perhaps confusing to the user, rather than a bug per se.
