So for me, not a bug. How is this resolved, if some people from Mozilla state that OpenOffice might give out incomplete html? Here you can try the bug yourself: You can use this service to try out what happens in Thunderbird, because the exact same thing happens in Thunderbird: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ Here is a text file you can try called "paste_this_into_thunderbird.odt": https://ufile.io/u0dpy That file has been uploaded into the service https://uploadfiles.io/ and it only contains this (not including /START and /END): /START Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text Text Text Text End. /END When you paste this text from OpenOffice into Thunderbird (or that "midasdemo" website linked up there), you see that the formatting gets ruined. In this case meaning that there is a lot more paragraph spacing above and below each paragraph. So if I type these "keystrokes" on my keyboard in Thunderbird: *press A-key* *press J-key* *press ENTER-key* *press ENTER-key* *press A-key* And then I type in OpenOffice these exact same "keystrokes": *press A-key* *press J-key* *press ENTER-key* *press ENTER-key* *press A-key* Then these both messages look visually exactly the same. But now, if I paste that particular text from OpenOffice to Thunderbird, then that message looks different from the one I typed in Thunderbird itself. So the text got ruined during this pasting process. When a user writes text inside either of these programs (Thunderbird and OpenOffice), then the ENTER-key behaves in the exact same way in both of the programs, producing the exact same result. But if the user then pastes from LibreOffice to Thunderbird, then that formatting of the pasted text gets ruined. This is not logical at all. The ENTER-key has the work the same way in all of these very common and useful programs, and copy-pasting just cannot ruin that logic. Well then you suggest: Paste Without Formatting? No, this is not a proper solution at all. Let's say I have a text (written in OpenOffice/LibreOffice) that is 3000 words long and includes: 30 links, texts that are bolded, unordered lists etc. And I wish to send this text to 20 different people. And I want to change the introduction of the text slightly for all these different people. I just cannot "Paste Without Formatting", because it requires tremendous work to get that formatting then correct. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
