Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64871
RTF: export will cut underline attribute at end of paragraph
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:21:45 UTC
When exporting to RTF (either as Save to file, or cut and pasted out as RTF), the underline font style is dropped if the style crosses a paragraph boundary. For example, if you have four paragraphs and paragraph #2 and #3 are entirely underlined, upon going to RTF the underline style will be dropped from paragraph #3. I reported this bug in OOo 1.x and rec'd a reply that it was to be fixed in 2.x. However, the bug is still there. Importantly, RTF is still important so that 3rd party tools (e.g., grammar checkers) can interface with OOo. With the above bug, I have to save from OOo to .doc, and then in Word export to RTF. A long overdue fix is in order.
I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can confirm the reported problem, please compare "mytest2.odt" and exported "mytest2.rtf" in "testkit.zip"
Created attachment 36128 [details] compare underlined text in .odt and .rtf
MRU->FLR: export the attached odt to RTF and re-open -> the underline attribute will now stop at the end of its first paragraph where it was assigned to.
RTF export has a comparably low priority -> later
reassigning to hbrinkm
This seems be fixed, as of ooo320-m19.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
