Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34537
cannot copy deleted text when "changes/record" is on

- Open text document - enable changes/record - enable changes/show - Now I can copy to clipboard 1) the old untouched text and 2) the added text, but cannot copy to clipboard 3) the deleted text (shown with line through)
Reassigned to ES.
If the text has been deleted, it is not available to copy, even if you still see it.
@bh: we could warn the user about this restriction. MS-Word does it when attempting to copy a delete but still shown via redlining text.
I do not support implementing a "warning" message. In my opinion, copy should just work. When you can see and select text, even if it is marked as "deleted", you should just be able to copy and paste it. Obviously, in this case, pasted text cannot be marked as "deleted" anymore.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
