[upstream] Line spacing set to 1,5 is partially lost after saving as RTF

[Przemysław Kochański]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

1. Create new document in OO Writer
2. Write a few lines like:
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
cccccccc
ddddddd
eeeeeeee
fffffffffff
3. For lines "b", "c", and "d" set line spacing to 1,5
4. Save document as RTF
5. Close and reopen the saved document
6. Line spacing is now 1,5 only for line "b"

Tested on OO 3.1 on few Linuxes and Windows, as far as I remember 2.x versions didn't had that bug.

Can you please file this upstream bug at http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html and add the bug number back to this report?

Found one already reported: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74236
It seems it's well known problem.

Przemysław Kochański, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/404566/+attachment/2139583/+files/example.odt && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f rtf example.odt && lowriter -nologo example.odt example.rtf

notice the line spacing has not been affected. Does this work for you?

I can confirm it's no longer reproducible on newest Ubuntu and Libreoffice.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
