Re: Problem with Brazilian Portuguese characters

...but downgrading immediately fixed the problem. Somewhere and for some reason the newest versions of Softmaker for Linux (will test in windows) are interfering with the compose key. Have you downgraded on the exact same system? Yes. Downgraded on the exact same system: 1. Which distribution exact...

Re: Problem with Brazilian Portuguese characters

So, some more information which might be helpful to the Softmaker devs. Other linux applications have been known to stop functioning with the compose key: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/166936/some-apps-doesnt-accept-some-characters-from-the-compose-key The solution from the site above: Th...

Re: Problem with Brazilian Portuguese characters

The very same problem is present for (some) users of SM2016: http://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=260&t=16658 It persisted in the 2018 Beta version, I reported it here on the forum but it never received a comment from the developers: http://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=294&t=17...

Re: Problem with Brazilian Portuguese characters

Just this morning I noticed that Softmaker upgraded despite my having locked it in Synaptic. I didn't notice until my compose key stopped working. Before downgrading and disabling the PPA (this time), I did some experimenting. The compose key still functioned, but unpredictably: I could still produc...

Was there a reason you made that comment other than to be a jerk?

Re: Can't delete paragraph styles....

Well, I for my part do....What I don't want to see... is an endless list of all the predefined styles TextMaker makes available, but only the styles I have defined myself. Fair enough. I can see how that would be useful. I think 3. would be sufficient – no need for 1., but this was introduced by yo...

I dunno'. Kinda' like those italics. Makes Textmaker look all swank and 5th Avenue. 8-)

Hi Martin, I downgraded SO to the version before the current one—in which the compose key still works, so sminfo won't enlighten you. softmaker-office-2018: Installed: 2795 Candidate: 2795 Version table: *** 2795 500 500 http://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt wheezy/non-free amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/...

Re: Can't delete paragraph styles....

Hmmm.... but why even differentiate between styles like this? Does one really care or need to know if a style is an application style or a document style? And by document style, I assume you mean: "Styles which are stored in a document but not in actual use..." and I'm not even sure I know...

Re: Problem with Brazilian Portuguese characters

I did week ago, no response. The customer support for paid customers is terrible. I don't know about that. The forums strike me as more responsive lately. Don't forget that the same moderators are handling two forums --- German and English. They seem like a small(ish) crew and are doing what they c...

Re: Can't delete paragraph styles....

How do you access a style that is defined, but that you haven't yet used in your document? Well... you know... usually that's not a problem because Textmaker, even if I've chosen to only show styles in use , still shows all of them. (Hence this email thread.) :) But, all else being equal, I would e...

Re: Can't delete paragraph styles....

Please help me better understand how you are working with such a system. Gladly. The primary reason I purchased Textmaker is twofold, I use Linux and I write ebooks. LO is about a decade behind in terms of its style management and, as you know, it's not as fluid with Word documents (often required ...

Re: Can't delete paragraph styles....

I can do that.

And yes, those are my styles. Those aren't "Softmaker Styles".

However, if Textmaker behaved like Word or LO, the styles would nevertheless not be displayed if they weren't being used.

Maybe the problem is that Textmaker only hides its own styles?
