Problem description: Test which includes line breaks added with the enter key result in an extra row for each line break when the text is copied and then pasted into excel Steps to reproduce: 1. type 1 2 3 4 with a standard line break (added with just the enter key) between each numeral 2. select the text and copy 3. paste the text into an excel spreadsheet Current behavior: Excel add an extra row between each of the numerals Expected behavior: Expect the text to be in contiguous cells Note: While I accept that Excel may not meet standards for accepting pasted text, it does need noting that this behaviour only occurs with text copied from LibreOffice Text and some html. I tried Microsoft Word, Notepad and libreOffice spreadsheet and they function as expected. HTML from this website pastes oddly. If the five lines from the libreoffice documentation page (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/) starting with LibreOffice 3.5 User Guides is copied there is an extra row inserted after the bolded heading line "LibreOffice 3.5 User Guides" and there are no extra rows added between the other four lines of text. The source for this shows that the first line simply has the Strong attribute applied. So, while I accept it is probably primarily M$ playing silly games with their excel paste functionality one needs to ask why is libreoffice copied text different to other? Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Cannot reproduce with Bodhi Linux on either 3.6.5.2 & 4.1 master build - must be Windows only
I can reproduce this behaviour with Windows 8 (64bit). Copy and pasting these lines from Writer (4.0.2.2) into Calc works as expected, pasting into MS Excel 2010 (14) (64bit) lines are added as described by bug reporter.
still can reproduce this in 4.3.0.1 Word to Excel works fine (2010 versions) LO to Excel does not
still present in 4.3.1.1
still present in 4.4.0.0.beta1
