Bug ID: 149904
Summary: File Corrupted | Tracked Editing Changes | RTF format
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: danielash...@protonmail.com
Description:
I did editing changes and tracked them and saved the file in RTF format. But
now I don't think RTF format supports tracking edits. And it ended up
corrupting and destroying the file.
If RTF format doesn't support tracking changes, it shouldn't let the user do
it. Maybe just a simple check when a person saves a file (1 - Does it have
tracked editing changes, 2 - Is he saving it in a file format that doesn't
support those changes), that would trigger a Warning to the user.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make word processing file with added text, copied text, deleted text, and
track changes in editing mode.
2.Save file.
3.Close and open it. It may be corrupted so and barely usable.
Actual Results:
The text remains but the tracked changes confuses it, and thinks some of the
text was added or substracted and it is hopelessly corrupted.
Expected Results:
If saving the file ruins the file, then people shouldn't be allowed to save it
in that format. Or at the very least, a warning should be issued ("You are
tracking editing changes. Warning, if you save in RTF format you may destroy
your file")
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
