Description david.cortes.rivera 2019-05-13 15:38:26 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
* Write some text in a plain text editor using tabs as indentation for some lines.
* Paste said plain text into LO Writer.
* Copy that same text, but this time from LO Writer.
* Paste that text into somewhere else outside of LO that would allow rich text formatting, such as webmail services from gmail or yahoo.

Quick example:
a
	b
		c
d

Expected behavior: should preserve the indentation as tabs, or convert those tabs to 4 spaces each.

Actual behavior: removes the indentation completely.

Can also confirm that the linux version is unaffected (6.1.5.2).

Repro OO and LO 6.4+ in Windows with paste to Gmail. 
In Gmail, it looks so, because bold is kept while indentation is not.
So I'll confirm.

Note: in MSO it is not "when pasting as rich text". If we paste special in MSO as rich text or Keep Text only, indentation is there. If HTML or Keep source or Merge formatting, no indentation.

Dear david.cortes.rivera,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa
