Here’s what I think may be happening, and it has nothing to do with LibreOffice. I noticed similar strange behavior the first time I bought and used a laptop with a trackpad for a mouse. As I typed, crazy things would happen and, after a while, I realized that my thumb would sometimes inadvertently touch the trackpad causing an unintended mouse click. The result of that unintended click would depend on where my mouse cursor happened to be.
You might check to see if your mouse cursor is hovering over the Boldface icon on the toolbar. If it is, you may be accidentally turning boldface on and off while you type. This happened to me so often that I have since gotten into the habit of deliberately positioning my mouse cursor somewhere on the screen where a mouse click wouldn’t do anything.

The default page style is not much different from the one that came with LibreOffice and the default paragraph style specifies Western font as "Times New Roman, 12 point, regular".* *Yet, when I open a new document and start typing something, Writer at some point starts to display the text as BOLD font. Something I did NOT ask for. When I keep typing, it then at some point for reasons I simply do not understand turns off the bold font and I am back to regular font.* *Though this may not be an error, it is very annoying.* *I tried to create new page and paragraph styles, but that does not help.* *Can tell anybody tell me, what I am probably doing wrong?* *Thank you.* *Thomas* -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
