The relevant part of the attached .odt is basically: <text:p><text:span>Column one text<text:tab />Column two text</text:span></text:p> So I think the problem is that it sees the <text:p> and starts collecting text, but when it gets to the <text:tab />, it stops and hence ignores "Column two text". What if only only stops collecting text when it finds the ending </text:p>, rather than any end tag? I'll attach a proposed patch, but as I said, I don't know Objective C. And I don't have an environment where I can try to build and test the change.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
