Result of comment-creation with pasted indented paragraphs, much free space in end of comment

Copying of list items or other paragraphs with indent into a comment result in weird presentation of the comment. A regular result is that only the end of the copied text is visible (see attachment). Why is there so much space below the inserted comment?

A seldom happened result in older documents--which I cannot reproduce with newer documents--is that the list items are inserted as a column of single characters.

For example

* list items text.

is inserted in a comment as

   l
     i
     s
     t
     i
     t
     e
     m
     s
     t
     e
     x
     t

I think both results have the same cause in Writer codebase.

For me a copied paragraph with several levels of indentation was pasted like your column of single chars. So I could in fact repro the behaviour in a completely new document.

Dear Thomas Lendo,

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
