I confirm: Result with record changes: Text isn't highlighted after step 5 Result without record changes: Text is highlighted yellow after step 5 Expected result: Same behaviour => NEW, because it's clearyl a bug cc: Design-Team, because I can't assess which result should be the correct one (i would prefer solution, that text isn't highlighted, if you start typing again)
Cannot confirm. When I delete "hind" and type "hind" after step #3, the yellow background comes back. Version: 7.3.1.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:3) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.16; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 7.3.1-1 Calc: threaded In general, the direct formatting should be continued. I'm a bit split whether deleting the formatted part should keep the DF after the last unformatted character. Applying DF when nothing is selected, eg after typing BE, wont be used for HIND. But without TC it works exactly like this, deleting HIND and retyping it keeps the DF. However, deleting one letter more will remove the DF. And this wont happen with TC enabled. In a nutshell: a) do the same with / without TC, and b) continue DF when active.

Using MacOS 14.1.2, I can confirm the bug is still present in Stable Build Version: 24.2.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Master/Daily Build Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c4023d3ec604abfff38be2053e2989c7ec2ba8c1 CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I noticed that the highlight is still there, but starts a space after. If you type in a space after "be", the yellow background text will show up for any text you add. For example, "be hind" will highlight " hind". The highlight is removed if you remove the space in between, or in others words, if you go back to this: "behind".
