This is in regard to new feature introduced here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0425ccba5b2f8819d6fade05d96a72d64db1ce0c This feature introduces an undesirable side effect: when copying & pasting a portion of text within a bulleted list paragraph, leading spaces and bullet are copied along with the text. This is the case even when a single character is being copied! This makes cutting/pasting commands from a document to a terminal emulator rather inconvenient:) Possible solutions: (1) Enable feature only when entire paragraph(s) are selected. (2) Implement feature only within the context of a newly introduced "copy special" or "copy rich" function. (3) Introduce option to disable the feature on a per-document or global basis.
Kendy: thoughts?
Tested folowing bullet list • first • second • third j s s s s s • fourth s s s when I select whole line it's copied with bullet • first when I select only part of line or one letter it's copied without bullet j s s s f c j third Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Good find; indeed (1) would make sense - export the bullets only when multiple paragraphs are involved...

Fixed now :-)
i read Vince's description such that a *partially selected* paragraph has its numbering copied, but as comment#2 indicates, only a *completely selected* paragraph has its numbering copied. then the suggested solution (1) was interpreted by Kendy as applying to a single *completely selected* paragraph, so that it's numbering should not be copied, which isn't what it actually says! i'd much prefer to copy the numbering of a single completely selected paragraph, as that's how it worked even before the commit cited in the description, but currently i'm very confused by the comments here.
