Tomislav Delalic <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #19 from Tomislav Delalic <[email protected]> --- I was able to replicate the problem on the following configuration: Windows 10 OpenOffice 4.2.0 Steps I followed: 1. Create a sample text (can be only one character) 2. Add footnote with ** as numbering * Observe that the cursor is not placed just after the second *, but apparently inserts few blank spaces between ** and the cursor 3. Save the document as a .doc format 4. Open the saved document in OpenOffice Observed behaviour: Previously entered ** in the footnote now appear with few spaces between each * . Spacing will happen even if you enter more than two characters and regardless of spaces between them and regardless of characters we use. Tested and reproduced with: (place the following lines in step 2) a. Insert four characters with one space between each of them b. Insert two or more characters other than * (any character, including letters and numbers) However, the space added after I did the initial insert of characters (step 2) asked for some followup tests: 1. Insert the footnote with ** characters 2. Delete the spaces added by the operation 3. Save the document as .doc 4. Open the saved document in OpenOffice Observed behaviour: Footnote is displayed as it was before saving, without blank spaces between * characters. Another test in order to see if the same happens when editing the document: 1. Insert the footnote with ** characters 2. Delete the spaces added by the operation 3. Save the document as .doc 4. Open the saved document in OpenOffice and add space right after the two * characters 5. Close and reopen the document in OpenOffice Observed behaviour: Footnote is displayed as it was before saving, without blank spaces between * characters Repeat the same, but using Word to modify the document: 1. Insert the footnote with ** characters 2. Delete the spaces added by the operation 3. Save the document as .doc 4. Open the saved document in Word and add space right after the two * characters 5. Close and reopen the document in OpenOffice Observed behaviour: Footnote is displayed as it was before saving, without blank spaces between * characters >From what it seems, the actual problem causing this behaviour might be: The adding of two characters in a footnote for the first time adds blank spaces following them, that causes blank spaces to appear between characters afer saving it in a .doc format and reopening with OpenOffice -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
