Bug ID: 90421
Summary: mal-formed RTF link output causes seeming data
deletion
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.7.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

long document with link on the first page
LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 build ID 420m0(Build:2) on Linux Mint 17, 32-bit.
Reproduceable bug in Writer. If URL recognition is enabled in
Tools->AutoCorrect Options, make a file with two paragraphs. In between them,
write "http://testlink/ " without quotes, but with the trailing space, so that
the link is recognized. Save in RTF format. The resulting file, if opened by
LibreOffice again, shows nothing that used to be after the link. If opened by
Wine WordPad on wine-1.6.2, it's similar, except that even the link is not
shown. Fortunately, the data IS actually still there, and if you manually
correct the RTF in a text editor, you're able to see it again in LibreOffice or
WordPad.
The RTF being generated for the link seems to be mal-formed, with many extra
closing braces in the middle:

I'm marking this as 'major' only because of the apparent effect: after typing a
long document and saving several backup copies, I then closed and later
reopened them only to find, in this particular case, that most of the document
appeared to be missing, in every backup I made, too. Not a pleasant surprise
if you were someone or their grandpa, who might not know to look at the RTF in
a text editor to troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Kev
