Description Severo Raz 2018-03-17 16:46:30 UTC
To reproduce:
0. Open a new, blank Writer document
1. Insert a table (any size works, but use more than 1 column to see effects completely)
2. Insert OLE object (i.e. rectangle shape) and place in front of table
3. Select object inserted in step 2, hold Alt and press repeatedly any arrow key, as to move the object finely.

Result: the table cells are resized.

Expected result: the image should be moved.

Latest affected version tested: 6.0.2.1.0

Works fine here. What operating system you are using? By "in front" you mean "overlapping"?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Correct. I'm going to check with a clean slate of settings to see what happens.

You can try Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode.

I also tried with the stable with no problem.

Thank you for that! I used to always log out, and back in with a guest account to run these kinds of tests.

Now, I have been able to narrow down the bug, but it definitely is there, as per what I just experimented.

The phenomenon is conditioned to the shape overlapping the table, even if just its border.

Now, to reproduce:
1. Place text cursor inside table, and press Alt+<arrow key> as to resize the current cell.
2. Now select the shape which overlaps the table, and press Alt+<arrow key> as to move the shape in fine steps.

When I do this on my end, instead of moving the shape, the cell selected in step 1 is resized and the shape doesn't move.

Thanks, with these I repro (with step 0 being to insert the shape and move it over the table).

Dear Severo Raz,

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
