Hi Andy, On Wed, 2011-02-02 at 22:59 +, Andy Hearn wrote: Here's another issue affecting collaborative authors. Nice catch :-) (FWIW: I'm on master branch, pulled today, around 1900GMT) Glad you're up-to-speed. 1. New odt. Fill a page of text, say four or five paragraphs. ... Sounds like this needs turning into a unit test; any chance you could start with that ? the whole redlining world is in desparate need of deep torture testing :-) I would hack at: sw/qa/core/swdoc-test.cpp Where you should have a near full Writer instance run headless as a unit test, and replicate what the key-entries are doing (I suppose) programatically (manipulating the document). Interestingly, if you are showing the red-lining (with strikethrough) I would expect things to be more reliable ;-) when it is not shown, per-key-stroke (or so) we re-insert all the red-lining, add the keystroke, then remove all the red-lining from the model [ this is not wonderful for performance, as perhaps you can imagine ;-]. Anyhow, I would dig into: sw/inc/redline.hxx and its uses around the place (the feature is called 'redlining') traditionally. Also, loading a .doc with recorded changes on MSWord shows same behaviour for deleted text. Inserted text appear to be unaffected. Great. Is anyone already aware of this, or is working on/with Recording Changes? If not, then I want to dive in. It would be just great to have you working on it, and its all yours :-) All the best, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com , Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
