RTF Import Justifications Not Respected

[ben]

Steps to reproduce

• In a sample application I have the Rich Text Box setup and input four lines of text into the document
• The first line I'll left justify
• The second I'll right justify
• Third center justify
• And the forth left justify
• Save the document as an RTF document
• Re-open the document and the forth line that was supposed to be left justified is now centered justified.

Microsoft Word and Word Pad both respect the last justification.

Thoughts?

Hello Ben,

Thank you for your report.

I managed to reproduce the issue. I logged it in our public issue tracking system and it will be addressed in one of the next releases. I cannot give you work around due to internal implementation of RtfFormatProvider. I hope that this is not show stopper.

I updated your Telerik points.

Since this bug is going on 2 years or more old, it doesn't look like they're going to fix it.  I would think that justification working is a major component of a text editor, but whatever, I found a work around.  After the text was exported to RTF, I did a search and replace and replaced the \SMULTx tags with \SMULTx\ql\ .  It appears that once it gets a \qr or \qc tag, from then on it quites writing the \ql tags.  By inserting that, it makes every line default to left justified, and then if it's supposed to be right or center justified, that tag comes next which appears to be the one that is used.  

It worked for my scenario at least.
