Re: [libreoffice-users] How to remove a bug report attachment?

Hi :)  
Ahhh.  I see.

When i tried googling the suggestion it came up 2nd, not 1st.  For other people it may appear much 
lower down.  Still the fact it appears at all is the problem, not the exact position. 

I don't know if the problem has already been sorted out but when i did click on the google link or 
the bug-report's link i got a mess of what appeared to be fairly garbled coding, such as ...  

par \pard\fi0\li1832\plain\f3\fs20 

Is it possible to further edit the contents of the attachment to make it even more 
incomprehensible?  

Since the attachment is on the bug-reporting site rather than the email-list i don't think 
postmaster would be able to help.  Is there a devs mailing list to ask?  I think posting a 
bug-report and adding a comment to the existing report has been the best way to contact the devs 
tbh but if there is a list then it might be worth contacting them there too.  
Regards from
Tom :)

The bug is at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48193
The only thing I could do was to tag it as 'obsolete', which doesn't stop Google from indexing it.
I could also change the file name and MIME type, but not remove it :(
It still pops up first when Googling for 'Magnus Hildershavn', and the 'Show HTML' still shows the 
formatted original file :(
I've been on several closed and open beta teams through the years, but I have never ever before 
seen any of my attached/posted example files popping up on Google!
IMO it is not a good policy to make such files available to robots.
