[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- I may be able to describe what the original poster noticed. I have used the following build and configuration… Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1; AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Service Pack 1 Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20 GHz, 4GB RAM 1. Open 1st instance of Writer 2. Type "text1" 3. Open 2nd instance of Writer 4. Type "text2" 5. Turn on Edit->Changes->Record and Show. 6. Type "text3" on line two of the second instance of Writer. 7. Delete the first line, i.e. "text2" 8. Result: "text2" is strikethrough; "text3" is underlined. 9. Highlight and copy both lines. 10. Return to 1st instance of Writer. 11. Turn on Edit->Changes->Record and Show. 12. Highlight "text1" and paste over it. Result: What was the strikethrough line in the 2nd instance ("text2") shows up as a blank line. "text3" is pasted as expected. "text1" shows up with strikethrough. Comments: I believe the blank line (what would be "text2") is what the op has referred to as the forgotten text. Even though “text2” has been deleted in the second instance, the user can still see it, select it, and seemingly copy it. I think it is reasonable to expect that when you paste in the first instance of Writer, the “text2” should still show up as strikethrough rather than a blank line. I performed the same steps in Microsoft Word 2010 (version 14.0.7106.5003). Word behaves the same way as OpenOffice Writer in this regard. I can also see the implications for group work that were pointed out. Suppose person 1 is writing section 1 of a report and person 2 is writing section 2. Both are using changes record mode. When the two partners eventually combine their work into a single document, it would be nice if they could retain all of the strikethrough text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
