Bug ID: 89942
Summary: Draw created shapes fail to copy into Writer properly.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I've experienced two major defects when copying DRAW created shapes into a
Writer document. (Using LO 4.4.0.3 in Win7)
1) When a single shape (circle, rectangle) is copy/pasted from Draw to Writer,
it appears to transfer properly, but is missing (deleted) when Writer document
reloaded. This happens whether the shape is placed on the page or in a frame.
Note: a) If two or more DRAW shapes are grouped then copied, the problem
does not occur.
b) Lines and connectors never exhibit this problem, just circles,
rectangles etc.
c) A shape originally created in Writer, copied to Draw, then copied back
to Writer does not cause any problems.
2) When objects created in Draw are grouped then copied into a Writer frame,
the circles and rectangles always remain in the background. This means that
unless the frame area has Transparency= 100%, the objects may be obscured (at
first I thought missing).
Note: a) Lines and connectors never exhibit this problem, just circles,
rectangles etc.
b) A shape originally created in Writer, copied to Draw, then copied back
to Writer does not cause any problems.
I'm evaluating LibreOffice as a replacement for MS Office and defects such as
this are quite alarming and tarnish the first impression of LO. In this case
there is a workaround, but it took a bit of searching/testing to figure it out,
and could easily put off a new user. A permanent fix would greatly improve the
new-adopter experience.
