Comment 28 for bug 782406

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a huge deal and still an issue in LibreOffice (4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04). I have tried variations of this procedure many times, always with the same result. The two texts differ in a few minor places.

To reproduce:

  * open Writer
  * copy text 1 from another application and paste into Write via Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text
  * save and close
  * open a new Writer document and repeat the above with text 2
  * open document 1
  * click Edit > Compare Document and choose document 2
  * expected result: a few small insertions and deletions representing the differences between the texts
  * result: one huge insertion and one huge deletion

Why is this marked "won't fix"?
