I replicated both cases in OOo 3.0.1.
To see the problem of hex 0a alone:
1. Create a new document, save as type Text Encoded, and set paragraph breaking
to CR&LF.
2. Log into http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570931 or any similar
page.
3. Wipe to select "Add me to CC list" including the apparent trailing space
(thereby including a hex 0a).
4. Paste into the Writer document.
What happens is that pasting fails. It should have pasted.
To see the problem of hex 0d alone, use the file I'm going to upload to this
issue report. It is a Writer 3.0.1 Text Encoded file, named
0d-alone-in-test.txt.
1. Open it as read-only.
2. When the filter dialog appears, set paragraph breaking to CR&LF and charset
to Western Europe (ISO 8859-1).
The contents are self-explanatory. After the hex 0d, the balance of the
paragraph disappears.
The reason for making the file via a hex editor is that the effect is caused by
copying from certain Web pages under certain conditions, namely, when text has a
hex 0a but not a hex 0d0a and is pasted that way into a Writer Text Encoded
document with a CR&LF setting. The hex editing achieves the same effect. Since
the disappearance of text after pasting it in, especially when no warning is
given, means that users' files would often be corrupted in a way users don't
realize has afflicted them until too late to recover missing content, the
problem is serious.
I hope this is clearer. In general, I give more details because many of us have
somewhat different defaults and habits and I see the problem inherent in not
giving enough information. Both the 0a-alone and 0d-alone cases are in this one
issue because they're likely to have the same cause.
Thank you.
