Priority: medium
Bug ID: 60936
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: : Copying text adds extra line when pasted into excel
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Test which includes line breaks added with the enter key result in an extra row
for each line break when the text is copied and then pasted into excel
Steps to reproduce:
1. type
1
2
3
4
with a standard line break (added with just the enter key) between each
numeral
2. select the text and copy
3. paste the text into an excel spreadsheet
Current behavior:
Excel add an extra row between each of the numerals
Expected behavior:
Expect the text to be in contiguous cells
Note: While I accept that Excel may not meet standards for accepting pasted
text, it does need noting that this behaviour only occurs with text copied from
LibreOffice Text and some html. I tried Microsoft Word, Notepad and
libreOffice spreadsheet and they function as expected.
HTML from this website pastes oddly. If the five lines from the libreoffice
documentation page (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/)
starting with LibreOffice 3.5 User Guides is copied there is an extra row
inserted after the bolded heading line "LibreOffice 3.5 User Guides" and there
are no extra rows added between the other four lines of text. The source for
this shows that the first line simply has the Strong attribute applied. So,
while I accept it is probably primarily M$ playing silly games with their excel
paste functionality one needs to ask why is libreoffice copied text different
to other?
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
