I hope as a result of this, the Format Paintbrush behaviour will be
changed.  It is very confusing for users who have previously used
Microsoft Office and discover that the formatting is being applied to a
whole paragraph instead of selected characters; this is VERY
frustrating.  It's easy to see why people like myself considered this to
be a bug.

Title:
  [Upstream] Writer Format Paintbrush formats more than selection

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  1) lsb_release -rd
   Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
   Release: 11.10

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3
    Candidate: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu3 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/525717/+attachment/2369876/+files/example.odt
  && lowriter -nologo example.odt

  when one uses the mouse and selects the blue text → clicks Format
  Paintbrush → selects “jumps over” in the green text, only those two
  words have their format changed.

  4) What happens instead is “jumps over” changed to the desired
  formatting but the font, font color, and size of the words to the left
  and right, as well as the paragraph justification changed to Default
  Formatting.

  WORKAROUND: Use the mouse and select the blue text → click Format
  Paintbrush → press and hold the Ctrl key -> select “jumps over” in the
  green text then let go.

  Original Report Comments: Note to OpenOffice.org: this happens in the
  Windows version of OpenOffice too.
