Description michael 2016-09-19 11:22:12 UTC
The values within the (HTML-)clipboard content are language-depended.

Cell-formatting for example:
   sdnum="1031;0;[$$-409]#.##0,00;[ROT]-[$$-409]#.##0,00"

"ROT" = german
[dots/commas] = german

Because of that, we need to know what language was used to fill the clipboard.
But a language-attribute is missing e.g. on the "table"- or "body"- or "html"-Element.

So can you give exact steps how I can see the problem?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Simply add some numbers into calc and format the cell as currency (for example), where the negative values will be red.
All that with a german UI.

Than, select the cell and press [copy] ("cmd + c" on my mac).

The generated html within the clipboard contains the german word "ROT" for the cell-format.
To be able to parse these strings, it is necessary to know what language it is.

You don't have to use German UI.
Example is created by formatting cell, language: German (Germany) and ticking the box Negative numbers red.

Verified html contents by installing xclip and running:
xclip -selection clipboard -o -t text/html

Dear michael,

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
