Dear all, I recently updated Libre Office Writer from version 4.0 to 4.2. Unfortunately, I observed an apparent regression in the copy-paste function from HTML pages displayed in Firefox to Writer documents (both apps running on MS Windows 8.0).
In more details, here is the problem: - Previously, with Writer v4.0, most of the formatting, links, pictures, etc., were copy-pasted without problem from the Firefox to the Writer window. However, there were also, from time to time, strange JS objects included in the Writer document. These were easily removed by deleting them in a WYSIWYG fashion. It was nice and convenient. - Nowadays, with Writer v4.2, not a single element of the original formating is retained. As a result of a copy-paste, one obtains a plain, simple text equivalent of the web page... Bug or feature? IMHO, this is a functional regression. As a result, it forced me to use MS Word first, to get the web page format right, then copy-paste this content to my Writer document. Painful process. I am wondering: is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a dev mishap? Thanks in advance for your help!
