<pre>Description:
The attached .odt file, when converted to pdf, as a strange problem: Certain
areas of text can not be copy-and-pasted correctly. The copied text is
silently corrupted, causing certain characters to be dropped or duplicated.
Very strange.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached "bug.odt" and do File->Export to PDF
(or open the attached .pdf)
2. Open the .pdf file. Select the string "<a href="mailto:critters@example.com">critters@example.com</a>" with the
mouse, and then Control-C to copy.
3. Put cursor in a terminal (e.g. gnome-terminal) window. Control-Shift-V to
paste.
Actual Results:
Something else is pasted (a corrupted version of the text).
Expected Results:
What is displayed should be copied.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
NOTE: In real life, the problem arises in files which have been modified by
non-LO software (The ODF::lpOD perl library), and seemingly only in tables. I
have not been able to reproduce it with text entered manually. The attached
demo file is a cut-down copy of a user directory generated from a database
using a software tool.
