Issue ID: 126509
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Copy/Paste toward other software increase the line
spacing
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major

Component: save-export

Reporter: [email protected]
While doing a copy of a text writen in Writer to another software (exemple
below) the line spacing in the pasted text is not conform to the original.
How to reproduce the bug:
1) Write several lignes of text in a new Writer document.
2) Select the text and copy it (ctrl+C)
3) Paste the text (ctrl+V) in another software in order to use your text there.
For instance try to paste it to Word 2007 or Thunderbird or Outlook 2007.
You will get your text but the line spacing is doubled. Here an exemple:
*******Result EXPECTED while doing copy/paste of the below text*******
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
*******Result RECEIVED while doing copy/paste of the ABOVE text*******
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
Writer cannot do copy/paste properly
As you can see the pasted text get double spacing. Each line become a separate
paragraph, and paragraph become chapters. This make Writer unable to paste
properly any work done with it for instance to edit in an email a letter you
have written with Writer.
I've tried to check if other software can do it, and I have to confirm that
this issue is specific to Writer. See the following:
Copy from Microsoft Word to Outlook OK
Copy from Open Office Writer to Outlook NOT OK
Copy from Microsoft Word to Open Office Writer OK
Copy from Open Office Writer to Microsoft Word NOT OK
And the sadest... while speaking about OPEN software...
Copy from Microsoft Word to Thunderbird OK
Copy from Open Office Writer to Thunderbird NOT OK
