[Bug 782406] Re: LibreOffice Writer Document Compare (regression)

 

Gretha, regarding your comments in the Bug Description:
+ "This ability to select Document Compare options (via Tools > Options...) has now been dropped again in LibreOffice 3.3.2..."

The same Document Compare options in OOo are still found in LO at Tools
-> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Changes.

+ "Note:  Document Comparison also still does not work at all in
footnotes.  Two documents with differences only in the text of footnotes
are erroneously flagged as identical."

Quoting from http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Compare_Document:
"When in Writer: The contents of footnotes, headers, frames and fields are ignored."

Title:
  LibreOffice Writer Document Compare (regression)

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  Comparing two files has reverted to the old OOo behaviour of flagging
  entire long sequences of paragraphs as different, when in fact they
  are actually identical except maybe for just one or two minor
  typographical differences.
