tdf#104967 prevent crash when pasting notes originating from a closed document
This is only a workaround to prevent a crash, the actual note content is lost
when pasting, only a standard empty note caption will be pasted.

I somewhat doubt that bisecting result as that code is only executed when closing a document that was the source of the clipboard (detection more stringent and behaviour slightly modified since then, see also bug 104967). Also, that commit went into 5.2.6 as well, so is it reproducible there but not in 5.2.5?

Indeed, the problem is seen in 5.2.6, but not in 5.2.5.
To be exact, in 5.2.6 (as in some commits in my bisect), it manifests in the second pasted instance showing no content at all (while also having less height).
Comment 5 Eike Rathke 2018-04-24 12:30:14 UTC
Which makes sense because that change threw the note content away if the clipboard source document was closed to prevent a crash. Later changes preserve the content but the drawing layer caption can't be preserved so has to be regenerated (with a different size). I'm still baffled though that the code would be executed in this scenario here.

darn..
Comment 7 Eike Rathke 2018-04-26 09:46:13 UTC
So it's one of the Undo docs that holds the comment after Cut and gets destroyed when pasting thus the captions are rightly forgotten there. Can't fix for released versions. In master/6.1 it works by accident because of the cause of bug 117228 (captions never forgotten), which needs to be fixed first before this could be tackled. Handing back to pool for now.

Dear Telesto,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
