Description documentfoundation 2023-10-18 16:30:44 UTC
Description:
I have some documents (doc and rtf) most likely created with MS Office (they were given to me). In one, there were changes already tracked, while in the other, I started tracking changes. After saving and opening again, I see that when there was some text removal in a tracked change, now the text removal has extended to the end of the paragraph. For instance (I will mark the removal of text with ~~ characters, and added text with ++).

Before saving and reopening the document I had:

In ++this++~~that~~ case, I can remember that blah blah blah blah.

Next paragraph bla bla bla.

After saving and reopening the document I have:

In ++this++~~that case, I can remember that blah blah blah blah.~~

Next paragraph bla bla bla.

So the removal has "extended" to the end of the paragraph.

My version is 7.6.2.1 x86_64 / Libreoffice Community on Linux (Opensuse Tumbleweed).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a document (rtf or doc, maybe created with MS Office) with tracked changes (particularly some removal of text).
2. Change something and save the document.
3. Open again and you will see the difference in tracked changes

Actual Results:
You get the tracked changes that are removal of text "extended" to the end of the paragraph where they belonged.

Expected Results:
The tracked changes should be the same all the time


Reproducible: Didn't try


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
With the save mode, I saved it and it worked correctly (once), but I should try several times to see if resetting the userprofile solves the problem

I am unable to reproduce it in a controlled environment. It happened to me with some old .doc I was given, but I cannot reproduce it in a new document. It is difficult to add a document as the document I had the problem with has data I cannot share.

I am sorry!
