content after MORE tag is lost when editing posts using XMLRPC

[intersol]

I tried to edit articles by XMLRPC using Microsoft Word 2007 or OpenOffice.org + SUN weblog plugin and on both the content after <!--more--> tag is lost.

Current Trunk+1 for defects without patches.

Aren't we making exceptions for major defects? :-)

Never really made a difference in the past. Dont see why it should now. Sure, This needs fixing, But until theres a patch, Its going to happen in a future release anyway.

Hm.. Looking at the code, things are being returned.. but not sure if its correct.

the MetaBlog API defines 'description' and 'mt_text_more', the post is split into these 2..

Seems that Word2007 ignores the mt_text_more field.. from what i can see at least.

Just to note: most clients using the XMLRPC API expect to supply and receive the "more" text in the mt_text_more field. It would be damaging to change the behavior in such a way that more text was returned in the regular description field.

Unless something has changed dramatically in recent releases of WordPress, I would not characterize this as a bug.
