Subscript / Superscript formattings by shortcuts are irreversible

Post by Smilodog »

When formatting the text in a text box of Presentation, imposing subscript (ctrl-shift-"-") or superscript (ctrl-shift-"+") formatting is irreversible. It means that when pressing these keys again on the same symbol, the formatting is not getting back to normal. As it does, for example, in Textmaker. The only way to get back to normal text format is to menu of "character formatting" and uncheck subscript/superscript.

I think I have observed the same feature in old version of Presentations.

I was able to reproduce the problem with superscript/subscript in Presentations and forwarded it to our developers' team. So far please use command buttons on the ribbon (toolbar in Classic menus).

After communicating with our developers' team I got information that this feature works a little differently in Presentations.

In PR we have ctrl-shift-'-' for subscript
ctrl-shift-'+' for superscript
and ctrl-shift-'*' normal text

We also plan this feature to adapt the same way as it works in TextMaker and in Microsoft Office.

OK, so, this is not a bug. Nice to know, thank you!
Yes, it would be useful to have formatting shortcuts uniform in all apps of the Office.

We have completed the task to make Presentations subscript and superscript shortcuts work in the same way as on TM. This feature will be included in the next service pack of SoftMaker Office 2024.
