Description Freddie O’Connell 2019-08-13 21:35:15 UTC
Description:
In Calc, a spreadsheet with too much data for a cell is drawing the end of the content of that cell rather than the beginning, which can be confusing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch a spreadsheet with lots of content per cell.
2. Look at a specific cell.
3. Wonder how to see the beginning of the content.

Actual Results:
The end of the content instead of the beginning was drawn.

Expected Results:
The beginning of the content should've been drawn.


Reproducible: Always

Please attach a sample file as little as possible, showing the issue.
Comment 4 Freddie O’Connell 2019-08-14 02:26:10 UTC
I'm confused. The attached screenshots show a cell in Calc, where the text "Selecting 'Close' on Editing a unit..." is not visible in the cell, and a screenshot from Numbers where that text is visible in the cell and the text that is not visible is the end ("... close without saving?").

Basically, for a cell with long text, Calc is showing the end of that text rather than the beginning, which is not expected behavior.

Sorry but a screenshot doesn't help too much without a sample file with the issue, how to known what it's in detail the cell format.

So I guess cell it's aligned from Bottom to show the end of the text, if cells are aligned from Top the the beginning of the cell it's showed.
Comment 6 Freddie O’Connell 2019-08-16 15:48:57 UTC
As a default behavior, I would personally still rate this as a bug. It’s generally inconsistent with any other spreadsheet application I’ve used.
Comment 7 m_a_riosv 2019-08-16 21:07:01 UTC
What you can do it's request for enhancement changing the second box of 'Importance' modifying the title, and status to unconfirmed.

No working as everyone likes it's not a bug.
