PM71381: DOORS spell checker throws DXL errors with Visio Drawing OLE

Rational DOORS Fix Pack 2 (9.5.1.2) for 9.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a Visio Drawing OLE object is in the object text, running
  the spell checker will throw DXL errors.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Hidden text in the users data (which is not supported by DOORS
  but can get imported from other RTF sources) is causing issues.
  

Problem conclusion

• Prevented the error causing DXL errors.  The underlying issue is
   still present and cannot be fixed due to the use of a third
  party control.
  

Temporary fix

• Remove the hidden text to make the highlighting behave
  correctly.  This can be aided by using some DXL to unhide the
  text.
  
  
  This DXL will fix the text in the current object to reveal the
  hidden text.
  
  
  Object curObj = current
  
  string objRTFString = richTextWithOle( curObj."Object Text" );
  string strWorking = objRTFString
  
  Regexp Hidden = regexp2 "\\\\v[ \\\\].+?\\\\v[0-9]"
  while (Hidden strWorking)
  {
      int iStart = start 0
      int iEnd = end 0
  
      // Copy all of the RTF, but skip the \v and matching closing
  \vX
      string strNew = strWorking[0:iStart - 1]
  
      // Avoid inserting consecutive spaces
      int iSkip = ((strNew[length(strNew)-1] == ' ') &&
  (strWorking[iStart + 2] == ' ')) ? 3 : 2
      strNew = strNew strWorking[iStart + iSkip:iEnd - 3]
  
      iSkip = ((strNew[length(strNew)-1] == ' ') &&
  (strWorking[iEnd + 1] == ' ')) ? 2 : 1
      strNew = strNew strWorking[iEnd + iSkip:]
  
      strWorking = strNew
  }
  
  curObj."Object Text" = richText strWorking
  

Comments

  s a client side fix.
