Description Jim Fuqua 2011-08-04 08:58:54 UTC 
When pasting from a web page that has an outline or list within a list such as:

1.
2. a.
   b.
   c.
3.

using the following styling:
ol.c {list-style-type:upper-roman;}
ol.d {list-style-type:lower-alpha;}

the a, b, and c entries show up as 1, 2, and 3. The problem probably hits any use of the CSS list-style-type.

Below is the html for a test page.  Display the page in a browser and then copy and paste the results in a LibreOffice Writer page.

To paste correctly the CSS properties of the ordered list should be evaluated.

<html> 
<head> 
<style type="text/css"> 
  ol.c {list-style-type:upper-roman;}
  ol.d {list-style-type:lower-alpha;}
</style> 
</head> 
<body> 
<p>Example of ordered lists:</p> 
 
<ol class="c"> 
  <li>Coffee</li> 
  <li>Tea</li> 
  <li>Coca Cola</li> 
</ol> 
 
<ol class="d"> 
  <li>Coffee</li> 
  <li>Tea</li> 
  <li>Coca Cola</li> 
  <li>Dr. Pepper</li> 
</ol> 
</body> 
</html>

Somewhat better in 6.0.6.2. Now the text case file ordered list is recognized if you use cut and paste, but the space between the separator '.' and the list content is lost, like so:

    I.Coffee
    II.Tea
    III.Coca Cola

When pasted. It must still be there somehow, because when I paste it from LO to here it appears:

    I. Coffee
    II. Tea
    III. Coca Cola

Dear Jim Fuqua,

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!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
