Description Telesto 2020-08-16 09:53:51 UTC
Description:
FILESAVE DOCX/DOC: Highlighting inside textboxes not exported odt to DOCX conversion

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Save as DOCX/DOC
3. File reload

This strange. If you save ODT to DOC there will be no highlighting. If you edit the doc with Word & save there is highlighting on import. If you edit the highlighting inside the textbox & save it works too.

Highlighting in textboxes is supported for ODT since 4.4. Looks like an implementation error

Actual Results:
Notice there is no highlighting

Expected Results:
Highlighting


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Confirming with:

Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: e0c72e31c1d455c26110c35e8780d420e17cdea6
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

This is an editeng textbox, upon exporting it there is this in the xml:

										<w:txbxContent>
			<w:p>
				<w:pPr>
					<w:bidi w:val="0"/>
					<w:rPr/>
				</w:pPr>
				<w:r>
					<w:rPr/>
					<w:t>sdsd</w:t>
				</w:r>
			</w:p>
		</w:txbxContent>

If the saved version is edited in Word, it puts out correctly the tag (I used green highlight):
		<w:txbxContent>
			<w:p w:rsidR="00EE2C44" w:rsidRDefault="002529E3">
				<w:r w:rsidRPr="00D85E2D">
					<w:rPr>
						<w:highlight w:val="green"/>
					</w:rPr>
					<w:t>sdsd</w:t>
				</w:r>
			</w:p>
		</w:txbxContent>

This is also retained by Writer on a new save, but this is now a Writer frame, so probably a bit different part of export core too.

Inserting a shape, adding textbox, adding text and highlighting it also saves correctly. Interesting...

If the question was when the highlight color in the sample was imported, it started with the following commit. However, at this point I see no way to set highlight color in the text box itself.

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
