Description: I asked this here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/249817/writer-how-to-avoid-this-the-text-of-the-left-cell-is-supposed-to-appear-vertically-in-the-middle-but-if-theres-a-page-break-it-appears-this-way/ For the left picture if I click the text, it goes right to its place but with all of these tables, I can't be checking everything all the time and it's an important work, so I want the PDF to look as it's supposed to. This doesn't happen with the right picture though Here's a couple of screenshots (the black rectangle is a page break) Here's a sample: [sample.odt](https://ask.libreoffice.org/upfiles/15919560978461876.odt) OS: GNU/Linux Manjaro 20.0.3 DE: KDE 5.70.0 / Plasma 5.18.5 LibreOffice 6.4.4.2 40(Build:2) [image description](https://ask.libreoffice.org/upfiles/15919117916007376.png) Someone told me that my tables have a "complex" structure: cells in the first column are merged as their contents are common to several rows in the other columns. All cells have content vertically centered. In Table>Properties, we see that the tables can split across several pages (necessary because the tables span several pages) and rows can also split. This is usually fine, but here the merged cells in the first column introduce a disturbance. When a page break cause a row split, Writer gets confused about how spread first column text. It seems to compute correctly the amount of text is the split parts of the cell but is lost when it comes to position the text: top or centered in the part before the break and seemingly full centering space in the part after the break as if the cell has not been split with the result of clipping overflow text. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create big tables with several rows 2. For rows that appear in several pages, make them go vertical and horizontally aligned Actual Results: Text isn't vertically aligned: sometimes it goes up, sometimes down and even overlapping other cells. Expected Results: Text isn't misaligned. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.4.4.2 Compilation ID: 6.4.4-1 Subprocs. CPU: 4; SO: Linux 5.6; Repres. IU: default; VCL: kf5; Regional Configuration: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); IU language: es-ES Calc: threaded
Not sure, if I've grasped your problem: Steps I've treid to reproduce 1. Open example from comment 0 2. Text in two cells of first column is right aligned => Click inside the text => text is center aligned. 3. Save and reopen Result: Text is again right aligned Does this describe your problem? => NEEDINFO

Dear Moshpirit, 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.
