A more complex ODG test file to have the full picture
Here is another test file, including character and paragraph formatting, as
well as text box formatting, to have the full picture.
My observations:
* (Noting that paragraph and character formatting _is_ conserved. Not text box
formatting.)
* Hoping to conserve relative position of the different pieces of text is
unrealistic. Your example uses the specific case of two text boxes that happen
to be left-aligned and that don't overlap in their X and/or Y positions. But in
other cases, consolidating will involve LTR boxes that are not left-aligned and
that would end up in an overlap.
* If we were to somehow implement what you are asking in a manner that
accommodates the above, the original paragraph formatting would have to be
amended with a new custom value for Below or Above Paragraph Spacing – which
would then propagate to new inserted paragraphs. This means that it could go
_against_ the expectation of someone joining two text boxes in order to have a
more consistent document with equal spacing of paragraphs. (i.e. "Why did this
keep the wrong spacing? I wanted to get something consistent!")
Whatever the feature was designed for in the first place, it is not used
exclusively for PDF editing (even though it's particularly useful for it, as
the documentation says[1]) and it would be bad to break existing.
IMHO, because of the above, this is a "won't fix", and we should focus on
solving bug 32249 to resolve the issue of too many separate text boxes on PDF
import.
