Merge lp:~acl-openerp/openobject-server/6.1-opw-576860-acl into lp:openobject-server/6.1

[Anaël Closson (openerp)]

Rapports written using rml now allows blank lines in user text.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
* install the module account_followup
* enter text with spaces between lines
* print the followup => blank lines are not printed

This change should impact every modules using trml2pdf

Hello,

This bug was qualified as Confirmed on Trunk (means still existing and reproducible). A Merge Proposal for trunk was created to fix it. Here is the link to follow the MP on Launchpad https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-dev/openobject-server/trunk-opw-576860-port-kbh/+merge/138635 and be informed once it's been merged in trunk: ... If this Merge Proposal could not be merged in v6.1 at the release of v7.0, it will be closed.

Thanks,
Naresh Soni

Hello,

Until today, it seems this fix:
- is not yet merged within 6.1 nor 7.0 branches
- has no effect with the version 2.6 of the reportlab library.

What is the real status/future of this fix/MP ?

Thanks,
Olivier LAURENT
