Bug ID: 158698
Summary: Changes to existing CSV not saved under certain
conditions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.9.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
- I start by opening a template CSV file, that only has the 1st line (my
headers) filled, in LibreOffice.
- I then copy from another spreadsheet (doesn't matter what the format is—tried
XLSX, CSV, etc; doesn't matter what the application is—tried LibreOffice and MS
Excel, it even happens when I copy columns from the same sheet): I repeat this
process as many times as needed:
- Select one source column from source spreadsheet (whatever application &
format) and then select destination column in LibreOffice (click on header) and
paste as 'Unformatted Text' via context menu on selection.
- When done, LibreOffice indicates that the file has changed (for example, the
red dot of the 'Save' icon appears) but when I save the file (through 'Save'
icon or 'File' > 'Save' menu) none of the changes are saved. This also applies
to 'Save As' if I save it as a CSV file with another name, and to the 'Save'
option that appears if I try to close the unsaved file.
However, if I manually edit even one cell or make another change or if I copy
even one cell with formatting, changes are saved in CSV format (i.e. this only
happens when I make ALL changes as copying-pasting of 'Unformatted Text').
Note that, if I save it as a different format (like XLSX) the changes are
saved.
Another version I verified having this issue is 7.5.8.2. This is a problem that
has appeared at least a few releases back but I didn't record when I first
noticed it.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start by opening a template CSV file, that only has the 1st line filled, in
LibreOffice.
2. Copy from another spreadsheet by selecting one source column from source
spreadsheet (whatever application & format) and then select destination column
in LibreOffice (click on header) and paste as 'Unformatted Text' via context
menu on selection.
3. When done, save the file.
Actual Results:
Changes are not saved
Expected Results:
Changes should be saved
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
See description. It appears this only applies when all changes are as
copying-pasting of 'Unformatted Text'
