Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 112845
Shape formatting is reset to default after copy-paste (OODraw)
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:49 UTC
The issue appeared after updating OO to v3.2.1 Can't remember what the previous version was, but most probably v3.1.1. I will attach a drawing file to the issue. To observe defect simply do (1) ctrl-a (select all) (2) ctrl-v (paste) , and see how formatting of some shapes is reset to default. No idea how to reproduce such corrupted drawing. ------------- In fact, I have a lot of models corrupted by this bug. I would be very thankful, if anybody suggested any way to repair my drawings - should it be macro or any other way. Will the downgrade help?..

Sorry, not reproducible. Tested with DEV300_m84 and OOO3.2.1 . I think in your description there is a ctrl-c missing? Otherwise nothing would happen. Attaching screenshot.

I rechecked the attachment - downloaded it and it still has same issue on my system. It's strange that you are unable to reproduce it. You are right - I forgot the ctrl-c step!)))) Sorry. One more interesting detail: A feature I set up in options - [ctrl + mouse-click-on-shape + move mouse] = [shape copying]. Similar feature works in MS Visio. Now when I do copy with this method, it copies alright - all formattings are kept! Probably different copy-paste methods are in use!!
I have noticed the same behavior as the original poster. I am running LibreOffice 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04. 1) Save and open the following file from the Internet: http://www.lautman.net/mark/coo/Basic_Network_Shapes.odg. 2) Start a new drawing file. 3) Copy a shape from Basic_Network_Shapes.odg. 4) Paste it into the new file. The pasted shape looks different from the copied shape. See attached image for the difference. Can a developer reproduce this behavior? If so, what is causing it? Is there something wrong with the shape, or with a setting on my machine, or the application itself?
