--- Comment #11 from Justin L <[email protected]> ---
I would suggest this is NOTABUG. The .doc file is doing exactly what it is told
to do. Just because ODT doesn't do what it is told to do is somewhat
irrelevant.
The fact that MSWord displays the .doc (and .docx btw) file identically to LO
is a good indication that LO is doing this correctly. Doing something
correctly now is not a regression.
There is no interoperability problem here right? Since both Word and LO open
it the same way, it is easily shared. The only problem is format
"convertability" and that is because the user has chosen settings that do not
match his intentions. (If you want your right tab to end at the right margin,
the marker ought to be placed there, and not at some random location beyond
that point.) The lack of CCs over 4 years confirms that this will not affect a
lot of people. Resetting priority to be medium.
P.S. MSWord uses the actually position of the right-tab in the *ODT* file as
well, the interoperability problem actually comes from incorrectly designed ODT
itself. (I wasn't going to change the status at first, but because of this I
will actually change the status to notabug.)
IMHO, the only thing that could possibly be done at this point is to reset the
right tab to be flush with the right margin when loading an ODT format, OR to
change ODF so that it also is allowed to bTabOverMargin.
