------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Nov 15 19:26:33 +0000 2010 ------- The defect that I've encountered manifests itself as a line space in a body of text that cannot be removed. If you try to select this space in the text using the cursor, the program doesn't allow it. This would seem to suggest it's a line created by double spacing, however if you check what the line spacing is set to for the preceding paragraph it's single spaced. If this behavior is somehow to be expected, it is not clearly outlined in the user guide for the writer program. I've experienced this issue by performing the following: 1. Open up a new text file in the Writer program. 2. Type in some text. 3. Select a spot in the text, and hit the enter key. This divides the text into at least two separate paragraphs and creates a space in between them. 4. Go to a website and use the mouse to select a body of text. 5. Press control and c to copy the text. 6. Move the cursor in the open office text document to the blank space we previously created, and press control and v to paste the selected text from the web into the document. 7. Remove the space that we previously created, which is now at the end of the pasted in text. After this is removed, if the problem is going to occur there will still be another space separating the pasted in text and our typed text. This is the space that exhibits the strange behavior. It is important to mention that this behavior will not occur for all text that you may copy off of the web. I suspect it has something to do with the formatting of the text you select. Though, it's not simply a matter of all the formatting of the text being preserved when you paste, as with the exception of this line space the format of the pasted text takes on the formatting of the open office document. Since in most cases you can't clearly view how the text on the web was formatted it takes some trial and error to find some that will cause the problem to manifest. However, I have an example document that exhibits the problem which I will attach to this report. I should mention that if you clear the formatting for the entire block of text that you pasted in, the line will go away. However, one can easily imagine cases where a document contains very complicated formatting and simply clearing it would not be an option. Also, even if clearing the formatting makes it go away, there's still nothing to explain why all the indicators of what the formatting was didn't tell us that something was going on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
