Can't delete paragraph styles....

Whenever I try to delete a paragraph style, I can't. I delete it and it seems to pop right back into existence. Or the option to delete the paragraph style is greyed out.

And I also can't figure out how to open a document with no styles (with the intent of creating a new document template).

Re: Printing Bug & Double Sided Printing?

Yes, there's a checkbox for double-sided printing. But that's not the issue. The problem is that there's no way to control whether the document is printed on the long or short edge (Duplex Tumble or Duplex No Tumble). If I choose "Setup" from your print dialog box, that also fails to provi...

Re: Printing Bug & Double Sided Printing?

//You need to setup a CUPS driver in your Linux which is able to print Duplex.// :? The driver for my Brother printer is provided by Brother. Every other piece of software in my Linux installation has no trouble with double-sided printing. Setting up a CUPS driver to print DUPLEX? That sounds like s...

Re: Middle mouse button pression causes crashes

It is a good product, in my opinion. but getting "the support team" to respond? Might as well send smoke signals. To be fair, and from what I can tell, Sven (who is the only official(?) softmaker respondent?) is managing both the German and English language forums and is, alone, responding...

Re: Middle mouse button pression causes crashes

Well yes, sort of. The mouse won't cause the segfault, but SO will still segfault if you copy and paste. That is, the problem wasn't the mouse but copying and pasting: See here: http://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=306&t=17628 Just be aware of that. If you continue using SO, set your docum...

Re: Middle mouse button pression causes crashes

Out of curiosity, are you copy/pasting with the middle mouse button?

Re: Cut, Copy, Paste Causes SM to Crash

This continues to be a problem. I can just about produce this segfault at will. It occurs when copying and pasting. The segfault occurs when pasting and that can happen when pasting within SO or to a separate application.

Re: Printing Bug & Double Sided Printing?

Yes, the file prints as expected from LibreOffice. I'm speculating, but it really does look as though SO is printing to DIN A4 when set to 8.5x11 (ignoring paper size settings). I tested and see attached. My paper size is 8.5x11. When I set the print size to DIN A4, the document prints as though to ...

Re: Printing Bug & Double Sided Printing?

Yes. Thanks for responding. When exported to PDF, not only does it print correctly but I can also control double sided printing -- choosing between long or short edge. Also, the same document printed correctly using the latest Softmaker Office for WIndows 10 (same printer*). The bug seems to only af...

Re: Printing Bug & Double Sided Printing?

Is there some other place to report bugs?

Short of that, the workaround to this bug: Do ones writing in SO; then print with Libre Office... :roll:
