Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 76412
RTF: large part of table lost when exporting a table pasted from browser
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:31:04 UTC
The table in Writer was copied from an HTML page. Now, when I copy the table from Writer to Calc, it only paste the first line. It looks like the content from the cell "Mise à jour de sécurité de MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB927978)" corrupts the paste.
Created attachment 44456 [details] the writer doc to copy data from.
I confirm this error in OO 2.2 in Windows XP
@pagalmes: Pls. specify your OS and Platform MAy be the problem starts some earlier with the paste from HTML to WRITER. Can you contribute the HTML source?
Created attachment 44460 [details] my paste special result
@rainerbielefeld: I am on Windows XP, on a X86. > Can you contribute the HTML source? Sure, I will provide it tomorrow.
TM->ES: please have a look, thanks !
Hi, it was not easy to reproduce the writer file, but I finally did it... - open the attached HTML file with IE 6 or 7 (cf screenshot 1). NB: It does not behave the same with Firefox - select the entire table. - Copy the result in Writer (I tested with 2.1 or 2.2) (cf screenshot 1) - select the entire table - paste into Calc (cf screenshot 3)

@MRU: Not a HTML or clipboard problem. - Load bugdoc: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/44456/tableau%20html%20writer.odt - save it as RTF - Reload -> everything but the first to lines of the table is lost.
I was only able to reproduce it with the table from the attached document. It seems that the RTF filter in OO has a problem with tables pasted from a HTML source.
mru, the problem comes only if you use Internet Epxlorer, not Firefox.
I can confirm pagalmes's observation, I was able to reproduce the complete chain with IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2245. When I copied the same part of the table from test.html to WRITER with Seamonkey, copy paste from there to CALC worked without problems, when I used IE, the reported problem appears. Pls. see my 2 documents in "comparebrowserresults.zip"!

This seems to be a general problem with tables copied from IE, I also was able to reproduce the problem with the table from <http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.asp?satid=25544&lat=52.267&lng=10.533&loc=Braunschweig&alt=0&tz=CET>
I created another issue 76492 for IE and Firefox not managing issues the same way.
