Description boicottms 2018-09-28 08:54:45 UTC

Description:
Hello,
in my invoice model I have my IBAN number in the footer. The footer has forced justification and the IBAN code itself has a wide letter spacing (1.5 pt). 
I send the PDF/A-1, and I wish the client to be able to copy-paste the IBAN, but it comes with extra spaces between the caracters, as follows:
I T 0 0 N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X X X X
Is this a pdf or libreoffice problem?
I attach both the writer document (with embedded fonts) and the ouput PDF.
I also attach a test file where this doesn't happen, and the result is as expected (no extra spaces)
Thank you

Actual Results:
letters have extra spaces in between

Expected Results:
letters should not have any extra space


Reproducible: Always

I confirm it with

Version: 6.0.6.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 0c292870b25a325b5ed35f6b45599d2ea4458e77
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group

Steps to reproduce
1. Open a document in writer
2. Type a word in the footer
3. Change character spacing to 2pt
4. Export to PDF
5. Open PDF => Copy the text => paste into an new document => extra spaces instead of character spacing

Dear boicottms,

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 http://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: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
