Description gregory_m_thompson 2023-03-21 21:09:56 UTC

When I select multiple text lines to be formatted as hidden text, the CR/LF characters to not get "hidden" so I get the same amount of lines as before but they are apparently blank.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.highlight several lines of text in one block to all become "hidden" text.

Actual Results:
I get what appears to be several blank lines. 

Expected Results:
All the text should be collapsed as if it wasn't there at all.


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Franklin Weng 2023-03-22 06:35:08 UTC
Not reproducible in 7.5.1.2:

Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: zh-TW (zh_TW.UTF-8); UI: zh-TW
Calc: threaded


Select texts with newlines in it and set it to hidden with Format -> Characters -> Font Effects -> Hidden
all the newline (I made the paragraph/newline mark shown to observe) are hidden.
Comment 2 gregory_m_thompson 2023-03-23 22:56:31 UTC
verified to exist in v7.5 also.
Comment 3 gregory_m_thompson 2023-03-23 22:57:48 UTC
@Franklin Weng: That is NOT the case for me and it still happens.

I understand that my example is a bit artificial, but it does demonstrate the problem.

". This is a multiline example that I was talking about.
Some of this is just to provide sample text to demonstrate what I was talking about" 

is the text that I wanted to hide.

Can you upload a document exhibiting the problem?

I'm not able to see any issues either

Setting as OS all, I tested on both Linux and macOS
