Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53217
the copy/paste bug plus undeleteable bitmaps makes content rescue impossible
Last modified: 2005-09-21 11:13:33 UTC
I'm trying to rescue my drawings from odgs with undeleteable bitmaps (some of them are still resisting to be deleted) inside thru copying parts of them to new odg files. But formatting of text und objects or groups of them are badly pasted to the new odg.

Pasting works without problems here. Can you attach a screenshot with the errors? Thanks.
Hallo wg, i've send two png to you. have you seen them?
sorry, nothing arrived. Can't you attach them to the issue? Or are they confidential? Thanks.

Created attachment 28797 [details] copy paste to new odg
When opening your copypaste.odg it looks already as in your wrong png. Thats why I did not see a problem... Can you attach the original file, too? So I can reproduce the bad copy'n'paste behaviour? Thanks again.

more infos: I'm using oo 123 win 32 from Pavel Janiks site. Copy/Paste. It doesn't matter if you copy the objects via grouping, combination or simple selecting with the mouse. The error is the same.
Thanks for the bugdoc. Reproducible. The spacing to the borders is changed. That is what changes the position.
Reassigned.
Hello, are there any changes in the status of this bug? It would be very nice to copy/paste to an new odg. Thank You, kabban
Ok, here is a dilemma. In the attached document the border settings in the default style are changed to 0. If you create a new document the default style contains border settings different to 0. That is way it looks different. Now to fix this 'issue' I would have to copy the objects with all styles hard formated. If I do so I get new issues by users who use styles. A solution would be to do the settings made to the styles also in the target document. I think we miss the feature to copy styles between presentations. But as I see it, this issue is not a bug
One additional comment, on first view this behaviour might see as a bug to the user. But in this case the user worked with styles, as he had changed the default style. So if the user wants to work with styles it would be an error to overide the styles while doing copy and paste. One of the main features of styles is that the pastet contents adapt to the 'style' of the target document.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what your meaning with styles. I've created a new odg, with same size and zero borders like the original file . Then I copied my selection. and there is the error again.
This is no error. For the handling of styles please have a look at the help.
Closed.
