------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 2 22:57:20 +0000 2007 ------- Document cannot be saved if forbidden characters pasted I speculate that there are some things that should not be pasted into the formula editor. While no immediate damage is felt, the lurking deadly side effect is that the document cannot be saved. It may not be apparent at that time as to what the cause is, and work may be lost if user discards all modified content in frustration. * Open open office writer * goto menu Insert->Object-Formula * Type "a b" without the quotes * now open in acrobat reader http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-letter.pdf (just about any character that you think has been copied will do) (for purposes of issue reproducibility) goto Page 32 select the character corresponding leftrightarrows * Paste that in between a and b as "a # b" where # might actually even not be visible The user may know that the paste itself was not successful as expected, however apart from an extra space nothing is visible in the the formula editor. Things seem to go without error. * Proceed as though everything is normal * click back into writer * Try to save the document You get the error dialog box "Error saving the document test.odt: Write Error. Error writing file. OK" Suggesting, that 1)pasted text be filtered for forbidden characters or 2)prevent the paste with a message box indicating why not feasible It is very imperative that in fixing this bug that pasting Unicode characters from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/2000-2FFF is allowed Note that this issue rises because one wants easy way to get character The symbol catalog is not very user friendly and there are insufficient characters predefined (issue 46571) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
