Description NISZ LibreOffice Team 2021-07-14 14:20:13 UTC
Created attachment 173566 [details]
The example file with the table created in Writer

After deleting an existing table that contains an empty row with Track Changes turned on, after accepting the change Writer leaves the empty row in the document.

Steps to reproduce:
1.	Open attached .odt file in Writer.
2.	Under the Manage Changes panel, accept the changes.

Actual results:
Writer leaves an empty row in the document.

Expected results:
Writer should track the deletion of the empty row and entirely delete the table after accepting the changes.

tdf#143359 sw: track deletion of empty table rows

Empty table rows were deleted immediately during
change tracking, or in the case of a deleted table
also with non-empty rows, accepting table deletion
kept empty rows.

Note: as a workaround for tracking of the empty rows,
i.e. rows without text content, add a redline with
invisible text ZWJ in the first cell of the empty row.

See also commit a483a44ca00f43a64ae51d62b8fbb4129a413f6d
"tdf#143215 DOCX import: fix tracked empty row insertion/deletion",
commit b50d386dfa70f7c1d4eb1a49091ec9dd782b767b
"tdf#142701 track changes: fix layout regression of image deletion"
and commit 05366b8e6683363688de8708a3d88cf144c7a2bf
"tdf#60382 sw offapi: add change tracking of table/row deletion".

Note: switch off unnecessary redlining of tdf#132744 unit test
to keep the sake of that test (i.e. cut of the selected table
with empty rows).
