682438 - When pasting from OpenOffice, crossed-out characters are pasted as normal

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Mikhail T.]

When I paste a piece of spreadsheet from OpenOffice into a new mail, it does get converted nicely into an HTML table.

Unfortunately, any characters, that were struck-through (crossed-out) in the spreadsheet, appear normal in the e-mail. I have to go to Format->Text Style->Strikethrough manually to re-apply the formatting I've already applied while in OpenOffice.

Mikhail,
Could you provide a sample of exactly what you are trying to paste.
Just pasting it in as a comment should be fine.

Joe, pasting /anything/ would show it. Create a 2x2 table (A1, B1, A2, B2) with values (1, 2, 3, 4), select the four cells, then copy and paste them into composer.

You will get a 2x2 table in the composer, but whatever text you had in the message already will shrink down.

And do you get the same types of results when pasting into http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ ?

Attachment: Sheet with two cells: one containing a struck-out and one a bold word.

I'm sorry for the confusion in comment #2. It was meant for a different (if related) bug.

Here is a sample spreadsheet containing both a struck-out and a bold word. Neither attribute is preserved, when copy-pasting into composer. The Midas-editor shows the same problem.

Copy-pasting from Libreoffice wordprocessor works fine, but from spreadsheet -- does not...

Mikhail, does the original problem still exist for you with version 115?

Mikhail, does the original problem still exist for you with version 115?

No, the style seems to survive copy-pasting now. The other problem -- the entire text of the message turning much smaller (and otherwise adopting the style of the copy-pasted snippet). But that is a separate ticket (Bug 221655).
