Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45970
Copying outline entry to clipboard copies things that weren't highlighted
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Version 1.9.79 If you copy a highlghted line of an outlne to the windows clipboard and paste into another application, it not only pastes the highlighted text, but also the number/letter of the first line of the same level of the outline. For example if you have something like this... 1 This is the first line a) level 2 line 1 b) level 2 line 2 Highlight "level 2 line 2" (don't highlight "b) ") and copy to clipboard, then paste into notepad. You will paste "a)level 2 line 2". I have a document that demonstrates this bug but cannot find any way to attach it to this issue. If you want it please email me at chuck_hamilton@newspapersupport.com and I'll gladly forward it. Maybe after submitting the issue there'll be an option to attach it.
Created attachment 24267 [details] Outline that demonstrates bug
same problem exists in 1.9.87
@chuck_hamilton: thought I'd have a look after your inquiry in discuss ;-) I can reproduce your problem, but I very much doubt that this is a bug: since there's no way to select the number/bullet part for a single line, somebody made the decision to copy the whole line to the clipboard. Then, you can delete extraneous content at the target location, whereas for the other way 'round, you won't be able to copy that part at all.
@chuck_hamilton: Ah. Forgive me my ignorance. I now see your point (if that was the "a) level 2 line 2" instead of "b) level 2 line 2" thingy). Reproducible in m86, seemingly for all clipboard formats.
Reassigned to ES
ES->DVO: Provided, a numbered text, "a) this is a test". when copy/pasting this text as HTML one should have: - "a) this is a test" -> because HTML supports numbering (currently, one gets "this is a test") All other formats are Ok. When selecting a numbered text from first character to end of line, this selection will internally include (even if not shown on the screen) the numbering which is a formatting.
