Priority: P3
Bug ID: 119419
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Hidden Text Disappeared
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: version58
Component: viewing
Product: word processor
Using OpenOffice on Ubuntu. I'm writing a manuscript, I have extensive notes
that I (cleverly, I thought) made hidden text, so that I could view them
quickly, but could still print up a note-less version to share with others.
Did this for several weeks, suddenly all the hidden text disappeared. I click
Show hidden paragraphs, Show non-printing characters. Nada. Gone. Vanished.
Vamoose.
Not some of it (it was interspersed among about 15 summaries), which it
occurred to me I might have inadvertently deleted editing visible text
(although I had checked that previously, it didn't seem that I could delete
hidden text while it was hidden). All of it.
It was pages and pages of notes. Fortunately, I had an older version in the
trash, didn't lose the work.
Thought you should know.
