Bug ID: 163076
Summary: Local formatting in Impress lost upon pasting
plaintext from a text editor
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When pasting text from a text editor into a text box in Impress, local
formatting gets incorrectly propagated.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Impress document
2. Remove the default text boxes.
3. Create a new blank textbox using F2 and dragging a box.
4. Type ctrl-B (bold) then "Hello", then ctrl-B (un-bold) and "Here is some
text. "
5. Go to your text editor and type "Something from my text editor". Copy the
text and return to LibreOffice. Double-click the text box, place the cursor at
the end of the text, and press ctrl-V (paste).
Actual Results:
Upon pasting, the entire text box including pasted text becomes bold. It
appears that some logic is being applied to pick up the formatting of the first
character in the text box, and applying it to the entire thing, instead of
picking up the formatting of the last character (or the current settings where
the cursor is, more precisely) and applying it to just the pasted text.
Expected Results:
Clearly the "Here is some text. " as well as the "Something from my text
editor" should both be un-bold.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
