Bug ID: 105967
Summary: Force display of linebreaks (nonprinting chars) if
part of a tracked edit
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When editing a document with LO's review features enabled, not all changes are
displayed equally. In particular, when I split a paragraph (by adding a ¶)
this change is reflected in the display, but when I combine two paragraphs (by
removing the ¶) this change is NOT reflected in the display.
Furthermore, when I display nonprinting characters, the ¶ marks are rendered
independent of the styles set in Tools > Options > Writer > Changes; it is
impossible to tell at a glance which marks are original, added, or deleted.
Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Open any convenient document and enable tracked changes.
2 - Make assorted whitespace edits (add/remove spaces, tabs, and paragraphs).
3 - Show nonprinting characters.
Actual Results:
Spaces and tabs obey the styles specified in Tools > Options (except for
foreground color).
Linebreaks do not; it is impossible to tell which ones are original, or
inserted/deleted.
Expected Results:
At a minimum, linebreaks that are part of a tracked edit should be displayed
regardless of whether nonprinting characters in general are displayed; they
should also inherit the same display style as other tracked edits.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset:
Additional Info:
Unsure what Severity to assign this -- it's technically just a display issue
with no loss of function, BUT the impact it has on an editing/review workflow
is definitely not 'trivial'.
