RTF import: invalid handling of "\b" third party document
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:14 UTC
Problems with import of non-MS Word generated RTF. Please see the attachment/URL for 290 bytes RTF file which shows the problem. 1. Start Writer 2. Import attached testcase_oo21_b0_vs_qj.rtf You will see that "ParagraphB" is bold, but it should not be. See the sample RTF. Preceding "\b0" to "ParagraphB" has no effect (while "\fs20" with the same features as "\b" has). To get the "ParagraphB" regular, removing of preceding "\qj" helps. Why? Why has paragraph formatting effect to character formatting?
Created attachment 42116 [details] A test case showing RTF import problem described in the issue.
Confirming with ,197 on WinXP - Writer sets the paragraph to bold, while WordPad does not (see attached "rtf-bold.png").
Created attachment 42122 [details] Illustrating screenshot
As described, it looks that a \b0 at beginning of para is erroneously imported as \b.
