test case for tables in hidden text created in MSO.doc

Attached is DOC created in MSO 2010 as a test case for tables inserted in hidden text. Those tables should also be hidden. 
But, their borders are still seen in LO. Looks like inherited. 

Note: Text is hidden with Format > Character. It can be seen toggling Non-printing Characters, when Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Formatting Aids - Hiden Text is checked.

Issue comes from the LO logic for table inserted in hidden text. It's not hidden, neither table nor text in it.
So, when it opens DOC, table text is hidden but table borders are shown.
This may require another bug which blocks this one.

So the problem happens with all document formats - odt, doc, docx and rtf - though in doc it also shows the first line of text that should be hidden, which turns out to be a regression introduced in 4.4.

Looks better from LO 5.3 to 7.1+, no more text, but still not good, table is still there.

Dear Timur,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
