Collecting small things in the Wiki -- Deletion Bug

I know this bug has been mentioned on lists here, but I couldn't find a bug report about it, so I submitted this possibly-duplicate one:
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38222>.

Hi :slight_smile:
It is better to create a duplicate than to miss out on getting a bug reported.
Triagers are often good at spotting duplicates and dealing with the issue
properly by linking the right ones together. You might have spotted the report
in the OpenOffice section so it could be crucial to report it against
LibreOffice too otherwise it might get missed. Again Triagers do a great job.

Good work getting it out there to the devs :slight_smile:

Tom :slight_smile:

What I see is a strikethrough but with no text. And rejection of the deletion
leaves it blank than what the original text was. (It also appears that showing
changes is off by default in 3.4.0 but recording changes is on.)

It is (relatively) safe to use LibreOffice 3.3.2. The bug seems to be new in
3.4.0. I haven't checked this with 3.3.3rc1.

PS: In making a sample file to demonstrate this defect, I notice that the
deletion shows as text with a strikethrough at first. It is when I do
anything else that it suddenly changes to just strikethroughs without the
text. I think this is a bug I've seen before but made worse in some way. The
bug is that the subsequent re-rendering of a deletion actually changes it
something else in a way that the original deleted material cannot be recovered
by rejecting the deletion. That gives me some ideas of some test files that
isolate this, though I am not equipped to actually fix the code.

PPS: I sternly object to 3.4.0 not being a stable release and meant to be
treated the same as a beta. This was a terrible move, especially since it was
widely-announced as availability of 3.4 without qualifications. It should have
remained at least 3.4.0rc2 until there was time to discover what regressions
and show-stoppers had arisen. The need for a 3.4 release celebration was not
justifiable under any circumstances. This regression business is very
discouraging.)

Thanks Regina,

Just installed LO 3.4 and discovered an enormous bug: in editing modus, i.e.
when correcting someone else's text, so he/she sees the results, deleted
text simply disappears instead of just being overwritten with dashes. So now
I've gone back to OpenOffice 3.2.

Yours
Dave
