Description bp20110601@gmail.com 2025-06-29 18:33:48 UTC
Description:
I upgraded from 7.4.6.2 to 25.2.4.3
When I created a new monthly newsletter for our senior group I found that two sections that contain columns did not past.  I uninstalled and went back to the old version and everything works.  I have now installed both versions on a laptop and can reproduce the problem.  I get the same results (i.e. lost text) pasting in to MS Word.  Pasting in to either of my two programming / text editors works.

I will attach a sample odt as well as screenshots of the 7.4 working and the 25.2 not working.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open the attached odt in 7.4 or 25.2, 
2.  select all,
3.   paste in to thunderbird or word.

Actual Results:
the birthdays and anniversaries paste from 7.4 in to thunderbird or ms word.
the 'happy birthday' image is pasted in to thunderbird or word from 25.2 but none of the birthday text, the anniversary image, nor anniversary text is pasted.

Expected Results:
everything would be pasted as with 7.4


Reproducible: Always

@Samuel
Please take a look?
I try to copy the visible section, but the text won't copy.
Simple text --- OK
HTML export --- NG
