            Bug ID: 108806
           Summary: DOCX IMPORT: line break appears in a specific document
                    that is absent in Word
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

Created attachment 134305

A sanitized DOCX that has no line breaks in Word

The attachment does not have a line break in Word. Its single paragraph reads
> First part of a line (before CRLF). Second part of the same line (after CRLF).

When open in LO, it is split into two lines separated by a line break:
> First part of a line (before CRLF).
> Second part of the same line (after CRLF).

This happens because there is a line break (CRLF) in the markup (document.xml)
that is converted into space by Word, but treated as line break by LibreOffice.

Word behavior should be considered correct, as described at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms256097 and ECMA-376-1:2016 17.3.3.31
(although I didn't find documentation specifically discussing CRLF in
WordprocessingML). This is consistent with xml:space="preserve" attribute used
in the file, as documented at https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-white-space.
