An odd but significant problem has occurred after installing LO 24.8.4.2. It is that trying to directly format very short text segments (1 to 3 words) in a single Calc spreadsheet cell results in a format error. The error is that this command sequence:
Menu
Format
Text
Strikethrough
results in underlined text, not in text that has a strikethrough line centered through the vertical middle of the text. This occurs in one spreadsheet that I have used for years (through many iterations of LO leading to 24.8.4.2). This problem does not happen in new spreadsheets.
The strikethrough underlining below the text is not separated from it by any padding as is the case using the Format → Text → Underline sequence. The strikethrough is instead directly below the text - it appears to be attached to the bottom of the characters. Therefore it seems unlikely that the command sequence Format → Text → Strikethrough is the problem.
The question, of course, is what may be causing this problem? Could the spreadsheet be corrupt? Could I have directly formatted this one spreadsheet in an earlier iteration of LO Calc to cause the issue? Could I have configured LO 24.8.4.2 Calc incorrectly, resulting in this error?
I appreciate any suggestions or corrections people may offer.
