Description Harald Koester 2013-10-09 12:41:12 UTC
Problem description: 

[1] Create new text document.
[2] Display non-printing characters.
[3] Insert two paragraphs with just 1 short sentence each.
[3] Select first word of first sentence with double-click.
[4] Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C.
[5] Move cursor between two words of second sentence.
[6] Paste clipboard as formatted text with: Edit → Paste Special... → Formatted text [RTF] → OK: The word plus an end paragraph character is inserted, i.e. the sentence is split to two paragraphs. Expected: Only the word without an end paragraph character should be inserted.

Bug already exists in Version 3.4.x

I did the same tests with WordPad, whose standard format is Rich text. With WordPad no paragraph end character is inserted.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Comment 1 Mike Kaganski 2013-10-10 09:30:39 UTC
Reproducible since 3.3.0.4 and in AOO 4.0.
Comment 2 Cor Nouws 2013-10-10 11:17:18 UTC
accoring to comment #1 an old issue
also the word, number of words, and line from which you copy are not relevant
Comment 3 Cor Nouws 2013-10-11 07:29:07 UTC
Appologies for setting severity to Normal, while it rightfully was set to Minor initially!

Hi Mike,

I've now pushed what I *think* to be correct, but I may have overlooked something. Please submit a follow-up patch if you're not happy with what's in master -- the only thing I plan to do on master around this is adding a unit test for bug 90260, so that *that* document is imported without a newline.

The rest is up to you, I don't have strong opinion on that. ;-)

Thanks a lot,

Miklos

Comment 14 Harald Koester 2015-09-10 21:51:48 UTC
Checked with versions 4.4.5 and 5.0.1. In both versions the bug is not fixed. Hence set back to NEW.
Comment 15 Buovjaga 2015-09-12 12:11:22 UTC
Yep, it's not fixed.

Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Version: 5.0.1.2 (32-bit)
Build ID: 81898c9f5c0d43f3473ba111d7b351050be20261
Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
Comment 16 Mike Kaganski 2015-09-29 15:27:50 UTC
Well, it's not actually "not fixed".

Previously, you could copy formatted text from ANY application, e.g. from WordPad, and pasting it as RTF resulted in extra newline appended.

Now, only when you copy from LO, and then paste back to LO as RTF, you get that newline. When the source is another app, everything is as expected.

Tested with Version: 5.0.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 37b43f919e4de5eeaca9b9755ed688758a8251fe
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU)

and with Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: e72e8c59fb1103f46b3d0b3e6a2386566068b1a2
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU)

under Win10x64.

Seems like a part responsible for copy is affected, because the clipboard data already contain that needless newline: pastion from LO to RTF adds that newline, too.

Checked with versions 5.0.4.2 and 5.1.0.3:
Bug still exists with 5.0.4.2, but in version 5.1.0.3 it's fixed. Hence status set to Resolved Fixed.
