Bug ID: 151401
Summary: Writers keeps generating random bookmarks
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When writing a normal text document, bookmarks appear without an order of the
user, and they do not seem to be pointing at sensible places inside the
document.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new Writer document
2. start typing and copy/pasting from within the same document or from external
sources using clipboard such as websites, other documents, etc.
3. check with the navigator how many items magically appear in the bookmarks
section, all with the names __DdeLink__XXX_XXXXXXXXXX
Actual Results:
This has been like this forever, but I was lazy to report it. It's not really
harmful, maybe annoying for some silly, structured people like myself.
When writing Writer documents, booksmarks keep appearing randomly with the name
'__DdeLink__193_1758816573' or more generally with the name
__DdeLink__XXX_XXXXXXXXXX with X being random (to me anyways) numbers.
These links/bookmarks appear mostly when I copy/past, either from within the
same document of from external sources (eg another ODT, a website, anything).
They also often appear when I find/replace text.
I used not to pay attention but I notice that these links are accumulating and
when I finish writing a 15 pages document I can have easily 20 of these
bookmarks, which do not seem to point to anything in particular.
If you're actually working with real bookmarks, this becomes a nightmare and
you have to 'clean' those 'ghost' bookmarks several times during the
preparation of the document.
Expected Results:
bookmarks should only appear when it is the intended action by the users (or a
side-effect of another action, but with a sensible purpose, location, object,
etc.)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
