My ask here is to have the formatting toolbar show me the > French typeface, font size, etc. Do you think this is problematic? *in the middle of that sequence* Issue would be with how it would be laid down in the text run. With DF or Text style applied to the text entered mid span, you'd end up with a text run of mixed style assignments in the ODF, potentially misidentified language, with RSID tags to boot. To keep the chaos down (and keep the ODF/OOXML meaningful), it would be reasonable to limit the keyboard/IME has changed response to apply at ICU lib word bounds for current edit cursor, or to word/sentence ends when a bounding selection of words has been made. Hard to justify the mess that would result doing it mid-word. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
