Created attachment 131272 [details] «Normal» sheet and newly added sheet I created a new Calc template with the following cell formatting parameters changed compare to the default template: 1) font-face; 2) font size; 3) row height; 4) column width; 5) text alignment. Than I declared my new template to be the default one. Newly created documents (each containing 3 sheets in my case) are based on that template, no problem. However, when I add a new sheet to the just-created document, it has row height, column width, text alignment as if I used the default Calc template. Only the font and size thereof are what I want them to be. Almost the same problem is described in the bug № 81397 (see comment 8, Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64 bit). I decided to create a new bug per request by Kevin Suo (comment 9). I witnessed it in LO 5.3.0 on both Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64. I believe this bug to be more serious than № 81397 is, since here something goes wrong with a few formatting parameters. I found description of that bug on several forums as well. The only workaround I could invent is to clone any existing sheet and delete all cells of the clone. Neither exactly elegant, nor very convenient solution.
Create a new sheet always have default options for columns and rows. For 1)2)5) you can modify the default style, for save with your template. But there is a simple way to duplicate a sheet, dragging the sheet tab with [Ctrl] key pressed. Everything on the sheet will be duplicated, not only formats. Resolved as not a bug, please if you are not agree, reopen it.
Thanks for reply, Manuel! However, I am not quite sure we understood each other fully. You are right about possibility to modify the default style (actually, I have a few styles that suit my needs). But styles have nothing to do with row height/column width. It's good to know about ability to clone sheet by dragging the sheet tab with [Ctrl] key pressed. Did not know about that. But again, you have to remove everything on the cloned sheet. It is not to say that is difficult or something, I just do not get why to do that. You create new sheet and it is automatically formatted according to your default template like the existing sheets. My feeling is that it is logical, transparent, intuitive behaviour. That is why I humbly disagree with you and why I have re-opened the bug. Maybe, «bug» is not a proper word, it is not problematic to circumvent it with a few mouse clicks. Just not exactly logical behaviour, like I said. In case fixing this issue does not require a lot of efforts... please, consider it.
Sorry for wrong name, Miguel. My mistake.
Let's set to NEW. Assuming inherited from OOo.

Still a problem in LO calc 7.x Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1115d4d5ac63394ca0f3f1b75dc81916cdbeebe9 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-07-13_16:10:25 Calc: threaded I too find it not very elegant to clone a sheet and then remove any contents on it or import from file. I would expect a default template to be the standard for all the sheets I create thereafter. It doesn't make sense to have a default template and LO calc does what it wants as if I've not created my own template. Developers, please think about it and implement this, please.
