I can confirm this, in Kubuntu Gutsy. For me it seems random as well. This doesn't happen every time I open a new or existing document. If I select italic text, it is fine, but on the same line I cannot turn it off, I have to go to a new line. It can occur both directions, that is turning italic text off or on does not change the text.
Using the keyboard shortcut (ctrl-i) , this also can happen as well -- [REGRESSION] Openoffice Italic doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
