Indented text copied from Word is not displaying properly when pasted into the editor

[James Cunningham]

Steps to reproduce the defect:

Scenario 1

1. Open the Ajax sample.

2. Copy the indented text from the sample doc IndentedParagraphs1.doc

3. Paste the content into the editor.

Result: The indented paragraphs seem to display fine (see screenshot).

Note: The indentations in IndentedParagraph1.doc are made by typing a line of text. Then press Enter & TAB. Type another line of text. Then press Enter & TAB twice. Then type another line of text.

Scenario 2

1. Open the Ajax sample.

2. Copy the indented text from the sample doc IndentedParagraphs2.doc

3. Paste the content into the editor.

Result: The last 2 paragraphs are not indented as they should be (see screenshot).

Note: The indentations in IndentedParagraph2.doc are made by typing 3 lines of text. Place the cursor at the start of the 2nd paragraph & press TAB once. Then place the cursor at the start of the 3rd paragraph & press TAB twice.

Word has different mark-up depending on how each indentation is created.

Reproducible in IE7, IE8 & FF 3.6.15

Hello jamescun,

I have also same problem with the same versions

Is there any way to fix it.

Thanks

Confirmed on IE8. Make sure to turn off ACF so that it did not affect the results of PFW processing.

With ACF disabled and

       config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles = false;
       config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles = false;

the results are fine in Chrome and Firefox:

<p>test</p>

<p style="text-indent:.5in;">test</p>

<p style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;">test</p>

Same in IE11:

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">test</font></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN-GB"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">test</font></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN-GB"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">test</font></span></p>

[Wiktor Walc]

Result in IE8 for the same setup:

<p><span style="font-size: medium">test</span></p>

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in"><span style="font-size: medium">test</span></p>

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in"><span style="font-size: medium">test</span></p>

So this is the only setup where pasting fails. Did not check IE9 and IE10.

Reproducible in IE8, Chrome 54.

There's a large chance the content looks like that even before processing.

We're unable to put any more PFW related tickets in 4.6.0. We'll revisit it later.
