Description David Melik 2022-05-11 04:58:09 UTC
Description:
I converted .docs to .sxws, .odts.  Someone inserted a horizontal in .doc, now is .odt, I can't delete nor even select (can't select LibreOffice horizontal lines either.)  Libre Office horizontal line documentation seems stuck at v3.5, now changed/undocumented, so I have no way to know how to replicate (Libre Office doesn't just make horizontal lines rather than unwanted half-height blank line then horizontal rectangle.)
        (Someone created a numbered list in .doc, converted to Libre Office 6 .odt, but list broke (formatting, possibly numbering) but we no longer have that nor plan to try again, but someone could?  They said Libre Office doesn't do numbered lists as well as Word.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import .doc that has horizontal line (and maybe numbered list.)
2. See them break, try to select, fix.
3. Can't fix (sometimes can't select nor delete.)

Actual Results:
Horizontal lines (or whatever they are; doesn't seem way to select to show  formatting information) become undeletable and non-replicable (undocumented.) (similar numbered list problems at least through Libre Office 6.)

Expected Results:
Couldn't delete, replicate line (nor convert/format numbered lists at least through Libre Office 6.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

When reporting, please keep in mind at least 2 rules:
1. search in existing bugs
2. attach source document, which is DOC here, not odt

1. Open the document
2. Format -> Paragraph -> Borders tab.. notice the bottom border turned ON

Have had the same experience :-)

Please do not report unless you are sure it's a bug 
If not sure, try first at ask.libreoffice.org. 
Bugzilla is not a help or learning tool.

No, the source document isn't .doc; that was deleted a long time ago.
