I’ve encountered some behaviour in Writer lately that has been driving me crazy. I frequently switch between bold, italic and unformatted text while taking notes in Writer. As of a couple of months ago, it unpredictably will not toggle text formatting off after the shortcut key is entered, but will instead persist. I also bound ctrl+, to set the default character style, and ctrl+. to switch to Source Text. These are exhibiting the same kind of behaviour. This does not seem to happen reliably, it seems random. When typing bold text, for example, when I toggle it off the icon on the toolbar visually changes but the formatting persists. I have tried uninstalling, deleting my user profile and starting fresh to no avail. I have also tried disabling autocorrect and whichever pertinent settings I could locate. Am I missing something?
Example:
[ctrl+b]Java[ctrl+b] is an object-oriented programming language.
