Issue ID: 128577
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Sorting tables misplaces/loses/mixes data in large
files 1Mb+ sheets 2000 lines x 30 columns
Product: Calc
Version: 4.1.13
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: programming
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
After sorting, sometimes after multiple sorts, data from the sorted sheet is
lost & replaced by data from another sheet. It seemed impossible but it
happened!
This has happened with OO .14, 13 & 12. It may have happened earlier but large
sorts with OO are a new thing for me.
Separately, Word Perfect had a wonderful feature F3 which displayed the
embedded control characters within the text. This was very useful when multiple
controls, e,g, underline, bold, & italic get mixed up. To correct it, delete
everything & replace them correctly. With F3, just delete the mixed-up controls
& replace them. Also MS Word places a large number of control characters at the
beginning of very file. Most of them are paired and so have no effect, e.g.,
BOLD on, BOLD off. Why it does this, I don't know but it inflates the size of
every file.
Again, I wanted to retain deleted text by crossing it out. When reporting
reality there can be a need to show that text was entered & then deleted or
crossed out. Sometimes it is useful to show what happened.
