\*\* Font color is lost when exporting LO Draw document as WMF  
\*\*\* An unexpected regression  
\*\*\* Actually, a problem from backporting 3f2d56d486da2006e24444cfa6f2f63700a14fae  
\*\*\* Debugging  
\*\*\* Two code paths: e.g., Math simply calls OutputDevice::DrawStretchText, which relies on text renderer actually scaling the text according to its font’s properties (and is limited to  
the integers in the font, so can’t be too precise); OTOH, VclProcessor2D::RenderTextSimpleOrDecoratedPortionPrimitive2D does scaling itself  
\*\*\*\* It seems that RenderTextSimpleOrDecoratedPortionPrimitive2D used to pass the “undo scaling” in the DXArray  
\*\*\*\* Trying to restore that part  
\*\*\* Restoring DXArray way doesn’t help: it’s integer-based; the increased accuracy in cc3663bbaed4f65d64154e5f9abb51a5f622f710 made the integers inadequate  
\*\*\* Trying to change DXArray to doubles  
\*\*\* Changing DXArray to doubles breaks tests everywhere  
\*\*\* looking for an alternative way to pass the “do not scale” info from drawing layer to the DirectWrite rendered  
\*\*\* Looks so obvious now in the hindsight - as with all great ideas  
\*\*\* Implementing storing the “do not scale” flag directly to OutputDevice  
\*\*\* Then to SalLayout  
\*\*\* [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167786](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167786)  
\*\* Style autonumbering fails to apply and undo does not work  
\*\*\* I see the problem, but not every time  
\*\*\* It seems it depends on misclicking when scrolling through the style list in the notebookbar  
\*\*\* Found the specific combination of styles in document and in notebookbar to repro  
\*\*\* Fun: it also is repro using other means  
\*\*\* Can repro even on desktop  
\*\*\* Building a minimal reproducer  
\*\*\* Bibisected  
\*\*\* Filed tdf#161172  
\*\*\* [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167839](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167839)  
\*\*\* Fixed  
\*\*\* Backporting to co-24.04
