<pre>Calc Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2
Threads CPU : 4; Version de l'OS :Linux 4.10; UI Render : par défaut;
Locale : fr-CA (fr_CA.UTF-8); Calc: group
When the content of a page in a pdf document is selected, lines are broken when
pasted into a notepad or a Calc sheet. the content is barely usable without a
great amont of work to rectify a wrongful paste operation.
The content is randomly pasted, sometimes one single column at a time, sometime
more, some times 5 or 6 lines are ok but the 10 following are broken and pasted
1 or 2 colums on the 10 next lines and then 2 or 3 source columns on the next
10 lines in 1 cell by line.
I tried to paste in a notepad as an intermediate buffer. again, lines are
broken.
a 10 lines, 5 columns pdf page can end on 30 lines. the first 10 lines carrying
col 1 and 2, line 11 to 20 having col3 and lines 21 to 30, col 4 and 5.
Sometimes I see text in a column split in two cells on a different line
is there a setting preventing this r a fix that can be aplied to correct this
situation?
Thanks.</pre>
