rtf-document gone blank

Hello,
This has happened with v5.1.1.2, the previous version (I think), and also Apache OpenOffice in their 2015/2016 versions. I believe it's the same thing on all the computers I've used LibreOffice and OpenOffice on (They are Mac OSX, Win 7 x32, Win 8 x64, Win 10 x64).
I've tested doing this (with some small variations) 20 times in a row: 
Paste a link at the top of the rtf document, save and close
Open, go to the start of the link, press enter and write something on the top line, save and close
And the document goes blank again and again. Sometimes one line is left, and sometimes I can see a line in Preview but nothing in the open document.

The attachment is just a blank file, but maybe you can see beyond that with your tools???! As I said, I've written stuff and saved it about 20 times so it SHOULD be something there, but I have no idea, hehe...

I can not reproduce in the following environment.

OS: Debian jessie
Version: 5.1.3.2

Comment 2 Monika Edvardsen 2016-05-29 15:06:17 UTC
What do you mean? That everything works as it should on your system? 
Or that you can't see anything in the attached document?

I can not reproduce with Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 33d4f7e5624d77ef1ce51aece1c8a0ef7ea21603

and 5.1.3
Text is not lost.

In your RTF file I see the link (not in writer, but when open with notepad). Please could you attach video with reproduction steps, maybe we missed something. Thank you.
Comment 4 Theodore Matula Jr. 2016-06-02 21:10:43 UTC
I also cannot reproduce this bug with version 5.2.0.0alpha1+ in Windows 10. I opened the attached file in notepad++ and saw a link, but when I opened it in writer, the document was blank. I also preformed the following test. As Raal said, could you go more into detail about the reproduction steps and your environment?

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open then attached RTF document (it is blank in writer)
2. Type in a URL, save the document in RTF format, and close it.
3. Open the RTF document again
4. Press enter while the text input cursor is in front of the URL
5. Type some words in the line above the URL
6. Save the document and close it again.
7. Reopen the document

Expected Result: the document has the words typed in step 5, followed by the URL in the next line

Actual Result: the document has the words typed in step 5, followed by the URL in the next line

Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha1+

Screencast of document going blank and then not

Probably goes without saying, but to be 100% clear: I used Cmd + V, cmd + S and cmd + W
Comment 6 Monika Edvardsen 2016-06-06 11:36:46 UTC
Sorry for delayed reply.

As I said before, this happens in different environments:

- Mac 10.9.5, Version: 5.1.2.2. It happens also with Apache OpenOffice - except in OpenOffice the words written above the link is still there when I open the document.

- Win 8.1, Version 5.1.2.2, also OpenOffice

- Win 10, Version 5.1.2.2 and 5.1.3, also OpenOffice

I just do this:
Type a link on top of the document
Press enter while the text input cursor is in front of the URL
Write something on the line above the URL
Save (as rtf) and close
Open it and it's blank almost every time.

However, it does not go blank when I do this:
Type a link on top of the document
Press enter while the text input cursor is in front of the URL
Write something in front of and on the same line as the URL
Press enter
Save (as rtf) and close

That none of you can reproduce as you say, I really don't understand as it happens on all computers I've tried it on, all on my home network. Could it be something with my network? There's nothing to be found with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Avast or Bitdefender on any of the computers.

Test document saved in 4.4.0.3 (buggy)

Reproduced based on steps described in Comment 6, starting from 4.4.0.3 to 5.2 beta2, not reproducible with 4.3.0.4, this is a regression. Attaching samples saved in both versions. Also reproduced in Linux with 5.5.0.2.

Steps taken to produce attached doc:
start with empty document, insert hyperlink, press Home, press Enter, press Up, write "test", save as RTF.

Comment 10 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2016-06-15 13:58:39 UTC
this must be a regression in the RTF export that was masked by the wrong fix for bug 74981 that was being reverted by the commit in comment #9 (which is obviously correct)

in 4.2.3.2 i get this:

\pgndec\pard\plain \s0\nowidctlpar{\*\hyphen2\hyphlead2\hyphtrail2\hyphmax0}\cf0\kerning1\dbch\af5\langfe2052\dbch\af6\afs24\alang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang1031{{\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "http://example.com/" }\rtlch \ltrch\loch
}test}

but current master produces a \fldrslt group that it doesn't close:

{\*\ftnsep\chftnsep}\pgndec\pard\plain \s0\widctlpar\hyphpar0\cf0\kerning1\dbch\af5\langfe2052\dbch\af6\afs24\alang1081\loch\f3\fs24\lang1031{}}}{\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "http://example.com/" }{\fldrslt {\rtlch \ltrch\loch
test}
Comment 11 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2016-06-15 14:51:32 UTC
apparently this is what broke it:

commit b8907bf3d3b37c686a414ffbbd2d732348aab5b9
Author:     Michael Stahl <mstahl@redhat.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Jun 27 16:02:45 2014 +0200

    fdo#78758: sw: RTF export: don't export multiple \fldrst for one hyperlink
    
    Ensure that we export only one \fldresult per hyperlink by doing that in
    StartURL() and EndURL(); the TextINetFormat() is called once per text
    portion.  This shouldn't cause problems as there can't be anything
    between the end of the \field group and the start of \fldresult anyway.

Confirmed working in 5.2.0.1.
Since this bug can produce invalid RTF documents, requesting backport to 5.1.
