Bug ID: 117734
Summary: Useless bugware galore!
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
So I had hoped to finally be able to get rid of this hideous Microsoft Office
2016
But I learned my lesson with "LaborOffice"
until the event I thought quite highly of libreoffice and now it's another
thing that goes to the trash as useless inane dysfunctional crap full of bugs!
I spent three hours on an important document today Creating in LibreOffice
Writer.
The first problem I came across which I posted here was that it did not retain
The three column sizes in a document while open. Also disable and not
accessible were the vertical separation lines settings.
I saved the document off as an RTF file so I would certainly have no issue
opening it in another writing program if needed.
Well guess what? libreoffice writer failed miserably and upon opening the RTF
file had thrown out all the formatting of the three columns!
and that includes all the hyperlinks as well which all produce error messages.
And before I forget the bookmarks Links too.
>From there on everything went downhill.
Trying to re-create the three columns and set the column breaks I saved it
again.
upon opening the newly re-created document I had to discover that now it was
completely eff'd up!
the document now had more columns than I designated and section breaks none of
them which could be eliminated. In other words it was just a miracle that the
app did not start editing and writing text by itself.
these two major Disasters made my decision it's a piece of worthless crap Bug
where as unripe as a green apple. I cannot rely on The simplest thing. Might as
well get the old Remington typewriter. I spent considerable more time
re-creating and restoring a document then it took me to created The original
doc it in the first place!
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a three column document spend a lot of time writing and formatting,
inserting hyperlinks etc.
2.save it as RTF
3.open it again and then bang your head on the wall for having wasted time with
libreoffice!
For those who want to be wise: yes the same thing in safe mode.
The same thing happens if you save it in Microsoft Word as RTF and open-it in
LibreOffice. Not so however, if you reopen it again in Microsoft Word. The
formatting is retained (That is the whole purpose of RTF!)
libreoffice dumps the formatting or creates It's own!
hyperlinks are gone to.
worthless, useless.
I need to work and be productive.
Actual Results:
everything else but what expected. (and this in the year 2018)
Expected Results:
To open the document In the format and appearance the way I saved it! DUH!
or for that matter if I set certain column widths to retain and safe both
sizes!
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
