Description Alexander Polkhovskiy 2017-02-20 14:58:33 UTC
Description:
Vertically joined cells in table header don't keep its height when repeated on the next page. Two or more vertically joined cells reduce it's height to two single cells' total height in the other row.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create at least 2 columns table.
2. Mark 2 first rows to be repeated on each page in the table properties.
3. Join vertically 2 first cells in the first column.
4. Place some text in the first cell of the first column, that will automatically increase its height.
5. Add necessary quantity of rows to make the table continue on the next page.

Actual Results:  
Now you see the first cell of the first column on the next page, and it has smaller height than on the first page. The text in the cell is cut as it would have exact height set.
Workaround: If you enter some text (even CRLF) in the single cell(s) in the second column to automatically increase their total height beyond the height of the first cell in the first column and then delete it (the text), the problem is gone. Manually changing the height of any of these 3 cells doesn't solve the problem.

Expected Results:
The cell should remain same height as it has on the first page.


Reproducible: Always

Joined table header height on the second page

Try to add and then delete CRLF (Enter) in one of the 2nd column header cells.

Still repro and there is also a new visual issue: the merged cells are shown as having a border going through it aligned with the first row!

Dear Alexander Polkhovskiy,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
