Description K.M. 2011-08-01 08:31:29 UTC
Tested with LibreOffice 3.4.2 OOO340m1 (Build:203) on Linux

How to reproduce:

1. create an empty text document in writer
2. disable "Edit->Changes->Record"
3. disable "Edit->Changes->Show"
4. enable "View->Toolbars->Bullets and Numbering"
5. Type a paragraph, e.g. "the quick brown flying fox jumped over the lazy dog"
6. Start a new paragraph hitting enter key
7. Type another paragraph, e.g. "Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern"
8. enable "Edit->Changes->Record"
9. enable "Edit->Changes->Show"
10. Move the cursor into the first line, delete some text, e.g. the word "flying " - leave the cursor in that line
11. Use "ctrl-alt-cursor-down" (equivalent to the single down arrow of the Bullets and Numbering toolbar) to move the first paragraph down under the second paragraph
12. Since Record & Show Changes is enabled the first paragraph gets crossed out (as expected)
13. the text is moved down (as expected) but
14. ups, the deleted text is back in this moved paragraph, so I get "the quick brown flying fox jumped over the lazy dog" and need to correct it again....

In step 14 I expected either 

1. the 1st paragraph including the deleted text still marked as deleted text; or

2. the 1st paragraph but the previously deleted text "flying " being completely forgotten - since in terms of the Record Changes logic I guess this is all new text at its new position except for the previously deleted text.

If I "simulate" the "ctrl-alt-cursor-down" function by the sequence of marking the complete 1st paragraph, ctlr-x it and move the cursor down under the last paragraph and ctrl-v it I get the second option of what I expected.

On a side note this seems to be connected to Bug 38745 since I also get that crash when messing with the undo/redo function afterwards.

It seems, this ugly bug was solved during the sw_redlinehide development.

The example file in current Writer

This file has two lists of two bulleted paragraphs, separated by an empty one.
One word is deleted from all lines. Moving them will have some funny side effects...

The example file after moving the first paragraphs down

Moving down the first paragraph in the first bulleted list makes the deleted word accepted (and the empty line appears as changed), while in the second bulleted list it makes the deleted word rejected.
