 - check for table nodes, output them seperately with formating
   to be displayed as a matrix when copy/pasted to a text file

sw qa filter ascii

Comment 4 Adam664 2025-07-13 15:20:05 UTC 
Problematic line is sw/source/filter/ascii/wrtasc.cxx:266

        if (pBox != pLine->GetTabBoxes().back())
>>>                Strm().WriteUChar( 0x9 );

Writes an ascii tab between the table entries. Need to investigate if the problem is on the wrtasc side or the character preview side.

Screenshot of this problem for pure English text in Chinese environment

I'm seeing a very similar problem when working in LO with CJK enabled, but in a document with only English text.  Screenshot attached.

If the developers don't think this is the same problem, I have sample document and bug report ready.

Just horizontal selection of cells bring this mix of characters.
