[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 93689] EDITING: Paste Special DDE link: Pastes selected AND ALL PREVIOUS text from source file

--- Comment #15 from Mike Kaganski  ---
Testing using 7.4.2.1, I could repro what is described in comment 11.

However, I also wanted to see what happens when the DDE source changes - and I
couldn't make the text update in the target document. So: does DDE (with Writer
source document) actually work, or is it just some broken feature? (Calc source
document definitely works.)

Dear dhr.jak,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

--- Comment #12 from dhr@gmail.com ---
Some more experimenting made it clear to me that the problem doesn't seem to be
a faulty translation of the old .doc file. The bug can be reproduced in a NEWLY
created file too!


This bug appears when in the copied (bookmarked) text of the source file, a
SHIFT+ENTER IS INCLUDED. THEN in the destination file the DDE link is corrupted
and ALSO includes ALL PRECEDING TEXT in the source file!

Create a new file with contents:
A ("new paragraph")
B ("new line, not new paragraph")
c.

Now if you select ONLY:
"B
c."
and copy that part to the clipboard, and paste it in a new file via
PasteSpecial/DDElink, you will erroneously also get the A part and
sometimes also some more rubbish (piping character or tables or...).

I hope you can fix this, as I really need the 's!

Thanks for your good works!

I am afraid the bug as described still exists:
When I copy part of the testfile "attachment 128110", and in a new document
select Paste/Special/CreateDDElink, it pastes the selected text portion, BUT
ALSO ALL TEXT THAT PRECEEDS IT.

I have also retested with a NEWLY CREATED file that reads:
a
b

Now when I select "b" and in a new file choose pastespecial/ddelink, it ONLY
PASTES b, which is right!

The problem therefore must lie in the testfile "attachment 128110", which is a
very old Microsoft .doc file that I IMPORTED in LO. There must be something in
the original layout of the .doc file (probably the columns) that isn't
translated in the right way into LO. 

Hope you can sort it out. Greetings Ton Klein

Created attachment 128111
  --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=128111=edit
small part of formatted problem file for testing

Hello Yousuf, thanks for investigating this bug after al this time!

At first I thought that the issue had been solved. When I tested it with a NEW
SIMPLE file in version : 5.1.5.2 it works as it should!

HOWEVER when I used my ancient address book file "Adrboek.odt" that I used
already under Word for Windows, the bug is still there.

My problem is that I used to make A SELECTION from the records in my address
book, and paste them via DDE link in another much smaller document that was
formatted likewise.

This used to work in MS Word, but unfortunately stopped when I switched to
LibreOffice.


To test for yourself I attach part of my "Adrboek.odt. When you select the
"Apotheek"-part, and try to DDE special paste it in a new document, you will
get the "Alarm"-part as well!


Hope this helps and clearifies, and thanks again for your research.

Regards,

Ton Klein

I just tested this and i dont see this issue in master. Can you test a more
recent version of libreoffice to confirm that it is resolved on your side as
well.

I jumped too early: Now I CAN make a dde-link to an other writer.odt BUT:

In stead of pasting the SELECTED text from the sourcefile, it pastes the
selected, AND ALL TEXT THAT PRECEDES IT into the destination file and creates a
link to the source.

Hope this can still be fixed.

Thanks for all the hard work!
