Description:
I'm trying to copy a bulleted list from LO Writer to a HTML Rich Text Editor form and I'm getting tabs (ASCII 9) inserted in odd spots.  For instance, if I have "A few utility belts, thick enough" in a bulleted list, copy, and paste into Firefox, it comes out "A few utility <TAB>belts, thick enough." (where <TAB> is the ASCII character)  How can I stop the insert of those TAB characters?




Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a bulleted list with text
2.  Copy/Paste it (using menus or Control-C/Control-P) to a web page that allows editing with formatting (example: Patreon's text post editor)
3.  Examine the odd formatting

Actual Results:
Formatting is sprinkled with ASCII Tab (9) characters

Expected Results:
No tabs, just spaces.  Formatting is similar to that in Writer.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
LO 7.3.7.2, Firefox 109, Linux Mint XFCE 21.1

Which editor is that? I tried in a new HTML email in Thunderbird, as well as this rich text editor in Firefox: https://html-online.com/editor/
And on CryptPad as well, and could not reproduce.

Also, please copy and paste the full information from "Help > About LibreOffice" here, and test a version that will see further versions released (7.4 or above).

Thank you!

I was pasting into Patreon's editor, which (given some digging around) is React and Draft.js combined.

Is there a Debian/Ubuntu PPA for the latest stable versions of LO?

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present in

Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.5-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
Calc: threaded

This issue is happening on Patreon's blog editor when in edit mode. When the user saves the text, the spaces are not present until it is modified. However, I also found that the spaces do disappear when the following happens from LibreOffice to an HTML Rich Text Editor form 
1. Create a bullet list. 
2. Select the entire bullet list. 
3. Right-click and select 'Clear Direct Formatting
4. Select 'Paste Special -->Unformatted Text
5. Right-click again and select List -->No List 
6. Right-click to Copy
7. Navigate to the post like Patreon and paste. The tabs do not appear.

Can you also reproduce with version 7.5 or 7.6?
