Source document

Saving certain documents as RTF and then opening them again shows part of the document missing. This is possibly related to the local link to a bookmark within the same document (attached are source and result documents).

Inspecting the RTF file shows the data still there so possibly it's a mismatched parenthesis somewhere.

Problem still there with LO 3.5.0 beta-1 under Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64.

Miklos: it seems this bug could result in data loss when the user save particular document in RTF format. Feel free to reassign if you can't handle this bug.

Best regards. JBF

jgboerema,

Thanks for the report, this bug was there since 2010-09-17. ;) It was indeed a mismatched parenthesis.
