Description Jim Avera 2023-09-07 03:45:36 UTC

Description:
$ libreoffice --convert-to txt FILE.odt

If FILE.odt contains a frame with text inside it, and also contains an unrelated 2-column section on the same page, then the text in the frame does not appear in the resulting .txt file.

However if there is no section present in the document then the text in the frame does appear in the .txt file

(I don't know whether it matters if the section is 2-column or not)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the attached demo_txtout.odt
2. run the shell command:  libreoffice --convert-to txt /path/of/dump_textout.odt


Actual Results:
The resulting .txt file omits the "COMMON FAMILY NAMES" text at the top of the document.

However, if the 2-column section is deleted, then the text conversion does include the heading block.

Expected Results:
.


Reproducible: Always

FYI, to remove the 2-column section, click Format->Sections and select the section (it's the only one), then click "Remove".
