Description David C. Rankin 2011-09-01 09:38:16 UTC
Created attachment 50824 [details]
Test document with numbered paragraphs

This may be directly related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40558 but is a separate and distinct bug in Libre.

When using numbered paragraphs in Libre, any attempt to paste text anywhere into a numbered paragraph, completely destroys the paragraph format for the numbered paragraph. It changes the margins and the hanging indent of the paragraph. Even pasting a single word into the middle of a numbered paragraph completely screws it up. This makes any type of legal document preparation impossible.

I have prepared a test document and included it as an attachment. Simply open the document and try to paste anything into paragraph 2. The whole paragraph format settings are messed up. Simply copying one word into the paragraph is enough.

I don't know when this was introduced, but it renders editing numbered paragraphs with copy/paste in Libre impossible.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 2 David C. Rankin 2012-04-12 20:51:53 UTC
Still present in 3.5.1-1.
Comment 3 A (Andy) 2014-09-20 21:08:23 UTC
reproducible with LO 4.3.1.2 (Win 8.1)

If I copy text from anywhere in this attached document then I can reproduce it.  But if I copy it first to the Windows Editor and then from this Editor to LO then everything is fine.
