Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49886
Copy/paste of RTL text within Writer corrupts text display
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:14 UTC
In the attached Writer document, the first two lines of Hebrew text were copied to the clipboard, and then pasted into the same document. The text display was corrupted, as the screenshot shows. When the file was saved and then re-opened, the pasted text appeared correct.
Created attachment 26569 [details] Has Hebrew text which was copied and pasted
Created attachment 26570 [details] Screen shot of original text, and the corrupt pasted text
Reassigned to US.
Should be fixed in current versions; pls refer to issue 43933 and follow-ups. Would you pls. try a current build from the location below [1] and report your findings back. Thx. [1]http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
Set target.
ayaniger -> us: It's not fixed in the current version. I made my test on an m104 binary for Windows that I downloaded this morning.
ayaniger -> us: Correction: My problem on m104 was when I opened the attached file, which was created on m95. If after opening the file, I copied and pasted the first two lines, the display was corrupt. However, if I created a new document in m104, then copy and paste worked correctly.
@ayaniger: thanks for the update. Does that mean the issue is not reproducible for you in m104? If so, would you mind to close?
ayaniger -> us: Actually, the problem is reproduceable, if you open an Writer file from a previous version of OOo, including 1.1.4, then try to copy and paste. (I've attached a file with the same text, as created and saved under 1.1.4.) While there is probably no need to deal with files created on m95, I would say that there is a need to deal with this problem on files from 1.1.4. So I'll leave the issue open.
Created attachment 26604 [details] Same file, only created and saved under 1.1.4
Honestly, I consider this issue a minor unpleasant behaviour (you will probably see things different). But considering the amount of issues we already have for 2.0.1 with much bigger impact, there is little hope that this one ever gets fixed. Hence I plead for closing. What do you think?
ayaniger -> us: I'm not in favor of closing this issue, since this will be a problem for Hebrew users of OOo 2.0. Since there are issues with higher priority which are keeping you very busy, I'll reassign this issue to myself. Once I get to it, I may ask you for some guidance. TIA.
Note : a workaraound: mark the text, align left, then re-align right, and the display is fine
Still happens with OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
