Issue 98998 - AutoFormat style should be re-applied after deleting rows or columns

[Rod Lockwood <ro...@provide.net>]

While doing research for another problem I just found out that the 
defect on Issue 98998 
<https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=98998> - AutoFormat style 
should be re-applied after deleting rows or columns has been marked 
resolved despite the fact that there is at least one staff member who 
agrees that this issue should be fixed:

Apache OpenOffice @ApacheOO · 4h

@WhitePhoenixUS What is "expected" is judged from the perspective of users like you.  There is always room for improvement.

There should be a way for the Applied Styles list to be refreshed without closing and re-opening the file.

This is a message that was sent to me on Twitter two years ago. Recently 
on Twitter there was a lady who made a big fuss about customer service 
on Twitter. I was one of the defenders. I told her that despite this 
issue hadn’t been fixed yet, I still hadn’t given up on Apache 
OpenOffice. Now I find out that it seems AOO has given up on me.

I don’t like LibreOffice and I don’t trust Google any more than I trust 
Microsoft, but it would appear that I need to find another Linux office 
suite. Money is not an issue, since I found OpenOffice, but I really 
find it galling that this issue should be simply dismissed so off-handedly.

Rod,

I just looked at your new comment on that issue before seeing your message here.

I don't know what "staff member" you are talking about.  There haven't been staff members since Apache OpenOffice started up following a license grant from Oracle Corporation.  All we have are volunteers providing their personal time, and how that time is prioritized depends on their capacity, competence, and commitment with respect to any specific situation.  

It appears that QA volunteer Edwin Sharp did not answer your last question to him on 2014-01-06.  I have no idea what he meant by his last couple of comments.  He has not been active on the Bugzilla since May of that year.

An issue usually has an indication how and when its status was changed.  I am not clear how or when Issue 98998 was marked RESOLVED - NOT_AN_ISSUE.  That does seem inappropriate.

In any case, there is not enough information there to be clear what the issue is and whether it involves enhancement to by-design behavior or not.  See my comment following yours.
