Bug ID: 106788
Summary: Libreoffice 'Export to PDF' save dialog allows newline
characters in file name
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
As part of my work I need to generate pdf documents where I copy and paste the
data into a Writer document then export as a pdf. Part of the name I need to
save the file as comes from cells in tables or a spreadsheet. It appears that
every cell has a newline character (hex 0A) at the end of the text. The newline
character is included when copying the text (which I assume is intended). The
newline character is transparently included when pasting the copied text in the
Name field of the Export dialog. This causes problems when the file is further
processed in my workflow.
Please filter out the newline character in the file save dialog or give an
option to do so.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy the cell Name in the attached sample.ods
2.Export as PDF
3.Paste the copied name in the save file dialog and type something after it
4.File name is saved with the newline (hex 0A) character
Actual Results:
A new line character is included in the file name.
Expected Results:
The Export dialog should filter out all newline characters before saving the
file.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
