Bug ID: 163282
Summary: FORMATTING: Files exported as docx do not respect
manual line breaks
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mister...@protonmail.com
Description:
Writing a document with manual line breaks made using shift+enter seems to
break under some circumstances when saving the file in docx format. I have
noticed this in a file I have done for my typesetting class, that stresses a
line cannot end in preposition in Czech language.
Steps taken:
-pasted text
-justified it
-manually fixed any lines ending with prepositions using shift+enter
-saved the files as both odt and docx in the same session, without doing any
other work that could change the formatting in between
When the file was saved as odt, formatting was kept as expected, the same file
saved as docx ignores many (though not all) of these line breaks, effectively
making the rendered file invalid/not fit for purpose.
Please compare the formatting in the two files attached, for example on this
line:
"Není nad to, pustit si večer film a relaxovat, u toho se i smát, bavit se,
nebo se naopak vystrašit a pak jen přemýšlet o smyslu filmu."
This is also reproducible if I open the odt file and save it as a docx.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a document or open the odt file above
2. save as docx
Actual Results:
Formatting differs between the files, ignoring many manual line breaks
Expected Results:
Files should be formatted properly
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
