Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9878
"accept" can't accept some changes
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
The attached document is drastically cut down from a 30+ page original. Many edits were made with change recording enabled. Change bars are displayed in 4 places, but note that there is no red text. It is extremely likely that at some time a change was made in the vicinity of each change bar. They _might_ be places where I inserted text (with change recording enabled), moved the cursor elsewhere, then went back and deleted the inserted text. Go into Edit- >Changes->Accept or Reject... and the changes are listed. Now click on "Accept All" or try to accept any individual change. Nothing happens. All of these changes fail to accept. Many other changes in the same document, both newer and older than these, have accepted properly, so it is something about the change itself. You can get rid of a change bar by selecting a contiguous region straddling the change bar and deleting all of it. In the original document there are now about 20 of these things. They continue to accumulate. They don't get copied when I do a copy and paste (ctrl/c - ctrl/v), however, so if necessary I can copy the whole content of the document into the clipboard and paste it into a new file.

dvo->gdeinsta: Gordon, thanks for the report. I recently fixed this bug, so I'll mark this as resolved. The fix will be in the next major release (OOo 1.1; probably *not* in OOo 1.0.x), or in the next developer build (based on SRX644). The change marks in your documents desginate changed formatting, but they don't mark any text whose formatting might have changed. Such change marks are invalid, and the newer versions just discard them when loading the document. It's a bit hard to say how they came into the document, but presumably the Writer at some point of time missed an opportunity to coalesce multiple change tracks. I don't think any data was lost. P.S.: Thanks for cutting down the bug-doc. Some people don't do that, and it always gives us a hard time. dvo->hi: Resolved. I'm sure you'll forgive me for stealing your issue. :-)
