With each save of DOCX documents, its footnotes will get an extra tabulator between its number and text.
Hello I confirm with Windows 7 64bits & Version 3.6.0.0.beta3 (Build ID: 3e2b862) The first save : adds tab, second save : no extra tab, then each save = one more tab. Steps to reproduce: 1. File> New 2. Type "test" 3. Insert> Footnote/Endnote, Numbering : Automatic, Ok Cursor in the footnotes zone 4. Type "footnote text" 5. File> Save > (give a name), Type:Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML (.docx) (*.docx) 6. Confirm "Use Microsoft... format" 7. File> Reload 8. Tab added (so one tab before "Footnote text") 9. File> Save as : same name, same file type (overwrite) 10. File> Reload (no extra tab) 11. File> Save as (same name, same file type) 12. File> Reload (2 tabs) Redo 11 & 12 add extra tabs Regards Pierre-Yves
Following the steps given by pierre-yves samyn (thank you!), this bug is REPRODUCIBLE also on MacOS X (10.6.8, Intel) * with LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 (Build ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21) * with LibreOffice 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 73f9fb6), both with German langpack installed, but UI language set to US English.
Hello Luboš, hello Miklós, I insert your mail address into the CC list of this bug because you are our experts for .docx import/export. This is an interesting bug with footnotes in .docx files, please take a look at it. IMHO there is a chance that it should be rather easy to fix, because it seems reasonable that this bug is located at a place in the code where the tab characters gets added to the footnote (probably on filesave, but maybe on fileopen). Thank you very much in advance!
Dear all, I have been annoyed by this bug since using the older and current versions of OpenOffice, and those of LibreOffice as well. I first noticed this when making a document switching OpenOffice/ LibreOffice and MS Word 2007/ 2010 (both in English version and Japanese version). Consistent use of "doc" (not docx) format could be a workaround, but as some of you might have noticed, the appearance of doc documents (especially line spacing of body texts, and of endnotes) is different betwwen OpenOffice/ LibreOffice and MS Word 2003/ 2007/ 2010. Hope this bug is fixed shortly. Hajime
Thank you for your comment! However, what is the intention of the keyword “NEEDINFO” here? Added by accident? ;-)
Alas, it seems that the problem (extra tab insertion every time when saving documents in the docx format) still exists in version 4.0.0.3.
Resetting "Version: 3.5.5.3 release" @ Hydriotaphia Please have a look at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Version
This bug persists in 4.0.4.2 (I have 4.1.2.3 on another machine, and keep forgetting to check there). I assume that this bug (and ? duplicate #39205) are still in need of attention since both remain "Not assigned"? @manj_k - I followed your link, but wasn't sure what it meant, and it seems broken. Is this what is intended? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Version This bug makes filesharing with non-LibO colleagues very difficult. (I edit a journal, and I notice this bug in that context a *lot*!) It would make life so much easier if it was eradicated. (P.s., I'm simply a "user" with no programming skills - alas!)
I think I fixed this with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b38629ae210b204a6d24d6e9c5c62eaaf563d494
Issue should not be marked as FIXED as it persists in Version: 5.4.4.2 Build ID: 1:5.4.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1~lo1 Each successive opening of .docx file (even if it hasn't been edited in MS Word) adds another tab between footnote number and text. Similar behavior as in #39205. I'd be happy to debug whatever necessary.
