File filter:IDML:merge process - corrupted IDML document layout

[Former user]

Original issue 378 created by tfranc... on 2013-11-20T14:45:55.000Z:

Repro steps:
1.Prepare xliff file from idml (rainbow/tikal) using defaulut IDML file filter settings.
2.Don't edit the xliff and merge it back
3.Open output idml in InDesign

Expected result:
The idml document layout should remain untouched comparing to the source document. There should be two tables with unique id (<table> "self" attribute).
- src.idml.png
- src.indesign.png
- src.idml.xml

Observed results:
There are two tables, but the second is just a copy of the first one including id (<table> "self" attribute).
- tgt.idml.png
- tgt.indesign.png
- tgt.idml.xml

Could you post the original IDML file (or a small one having the same behavior)?
Thanks.

Unfortunately it's covered by NDA. I'd need to get an explicit approval for this document from client first. I'll give it a try.

I understand.
Maybe the file can be modify to have only the part with the issue and replaced text?
If not. I'll try to create an IDML that reproduce the issue.

Attached are the source and processed IDML files. Please look at the table 2 and 3 on the pages 62/63.

I tested versions 2.0.23 and 2.0.24 with the same result.

I tried to check IDML file filter option "Simplify inline codes.." on and off and if gives another result but not correct as well. All tables seems to be replaced by one.

Thanks a lot!

Notes:
- Merged text is out-of-sync at u4fa-348, after that merged content is mostly scrambled while structure is left ok.
- rewrite with id, then re-extract shows second file un-sync TUs.

This will take time to debug.
