Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a huge deal and still an issue in LibreOffice (4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04). I have tried variations of this procedure many times, always with the same result. The two texts differ in a few minor places.
To reproduce: * open Writer * copy text 1 from another application and paste into Write via Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text * save and close * open a new Writer document and repeat the above with text 2 * open document 1 * click Edit > Compare Document and choose document 2 * expected result: a few small insertions and deletions representing the differences between the texts * result: one huge insertion and one huge deletion Why is this marked "won't fix"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782406 Title: LibreOffice Writer Document Compare (regression) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/782406/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
