Bug ID: 147206
Summary: copy+Rich Text Formatting RTF paste special turns
entire document into hyperlink text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Hello,
English LibreOffice Writer app.
There’s a big table of contents/index for a +1,000 page startup company manual.
This is a table of contents made by insert>Table of Contents and Index.
I copied a portion of the “index”/table of contents and then pasted it. But I
chose “paste special” out of habit, and selected “Rich Text Formatting” to see
what would happen. Now the entire document is blue and underlined, and behaves
like a hyperlink that directs to one of the topmost headers.
Can you tell me how to reverse this? ctrl+z didn’t fix it.
Is rich text formatting paste special supposed to turn the entire document into
a hyperlink? Why can’t this be reversed?
Thank you for your time.
, Tai
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert>Table of Contents and Index. Insert an index/table of contents.
2.Copy part or all of the table of contents in a document.
3.Paste special somewhere, select "Rich Text Formatting"
4. See that the entire document has become hyperlink text.
Actual Results:
The entire document became a hyperlink. All 1,000+ pages of a business manual.
All headers and all text, all the way to the bottom. ctrl+z did not reverse
the problem.
Expected Results:
Expected to paste a copy of the text I copied, without affecting other areas of
text, especially the entire document.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Sincere apologies if this is not really a bug, but it is such an extreme result
that it seems like either it's a bug or there should be a user warning before
paste-special.
