Description Charles Dobie 2020-03-04 20:04:35 UTC
Description:
My genealogy program generates descendant lists in .rtf format. For various reasons I need the list in .txt format, so I loaded the .rtf list into LibreOffice and saved it as a .txt file. The document is saved and looks fine, except for the fact that the source footnotes are missing. This happens all the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached .rtf file into LibreOffice Writer
2. Save the file as a .txt file
3. Look at the bottom of the .txt file -- the source footnotes will be missing

Actual Results:
The source footnotes of the .txt document are missing

Expected Results:
The source footnotes should have been saved in .txt format at the end of the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If the same .rtf document is saved in .html format, the source footnotes are saved properly, but of course in .html format.

I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: eeb2d19e77d6dc47c68e8ba0920a02cf64a1247b
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

More general:
1. Open a file with at least one endnote or footnote
2. Save as txt
3. Close and reopen

Result: Text of endnote or footnote disappears.

I re-tested this bug with Libreoffice Writer v.7.3.1.3 (x64) and it still occurs -- the endnotes are not saved when saving in .txt format. I also saved the same .rtf file in html format and the endnotes were saved correctly.

No repro with this version of LibreOffice, I can see the source footnotes in the .txt file like in the .odt file.
