Description: $ libreoffice --convert-to txt FILE.odt If FILE.odt contains a frame with text inside it, and also contains an unrelated 2-column section on the same page, then the text in the frame does not appear in the resulting .txt file. However if there is no section present in the document then the text in the frame does appear in the .txt file (I don't know whether it matters if the section is 2-column or not) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the attached demo_txtout.odt 2. run the shell command: libreoffice --convert-to txt /path/of/dump_textout.odt Actual Results: The resulting .txt file omits the "COMMON FAMILY NAMES" text at the top of the document. However, if the 2-column section is deleted, then the text conversion does include the heading block. Expected Results: .

FYI, to remove the 2-column section, click Format->Sections and select the section (it's the only one), then click "Remove".

Dear Jim Avera, 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!
