When trying to import an RTF file into Writer I run into an error, that was caused by me weak file:

The balance of { } pairs was wrong.
The importer detected this when reaching the very-last line of the file.

The error dialog told me, there is an error in the file format, and it told me the code line and source filename where the error was detected.


Bug: The dialog did _not_ tell me the reason was an unmatched {.


I am filing this (minor) issue since it might be easy to fix: The respective code knows about the reason:

Source file: rtfdocumentimpl.cxx


void RTFDocumentImpl::resolve(Stream& rMapper)

        case RTFError::OK:
            SAL_INFO("writerfilter.rtf", "RTFDocumentImpl::resolve: finished without errors");
            break;
        case RTFError::GROUP_UNDER:
            SAL_INFO("writerfilter.rtf", "RTFDocumentImpl::resolve: unmatched '}'");
            break;
        case RTFError::GROUP_OVER:
            SAL_INFO("writerfilter.rtf", "RTFDocumentImpl::resolve: unmatched '{'");
            throw io::WrongFormatException(m_pTokenizer->getPosition());

            break;
        case RTFError::CHAR_OVER:
            SAL_INFO("writerfilter.rtf", "RTFDocumentImpl::resolve: characters after last '}'");
            break;
