jc_bourg, are you using LO Basic, a random file and the "put"
operation?

OpenOffice.org Macros Explained (OOME_3_0.pdf,
<http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.pdf>), section 8.8 "Reading and
writing data" says of random files and operation "put":

    If the data variable is a Variant, an integer identifying the data
    type precedes the data.

and

    When Put places a string as a Variant, it actually writes the
    VarType, the string length, and then the string.

My experiment in a local build of commit e54ff4c1 on debian-buster
gives results like Andrew Pitonyak described.  Neither a String nor a
Variant shows truncation of the last two characters.  Macro "one" in
the attached demo01.odt is the experiment.


I am setting status NEEDINFO.  jc_bourg, please set bug status back to
UNCONFIRMED when you reply.
