-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904046 Title: Export to PDF permanently breaks viewing non-printing characters Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Doing File->Export as PDF permanently breaks the "Show non-printing characters" feature. rm -rf $HOME/.libreoffice fixes the problem (until the next Export As PDF). Investigation showed that .libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu changed during 'Export As PDF' in some way which caused the breakage. I will attach the before and after versions of the registrymodifications.xcu file. Also: During the Export-As-PDF, the following warning appeared on the terminal where lowriter was launched: (soffice:8684): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to retrieve the file info for `file:///tmp/Untitled%201': Error stating file '/tmp/Untitled 1': No such file or directory (I had selected '/tmp/Untitled 1' in the file-selection dialog when creating the PDF. The PDF was written successfully and looks good.) TO REPRODUCE: 1. lowriter 2. Type a few lines 3. View->Nonprinting Characters (confirm that paragraph markers are visible) 4. File->Export As PDF (non-printing characters disappear and can never again be viewed in this or any other document) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: libreoffice-writer 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Dec 13 17:23:47 2011 InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/904046/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
