Example ODT file with worksheet OLE object embedded

This is a bug forwarded and translated from a Chinese LO user chat group.

When a user inserts a worksheet OLE object (just a rectangular range of cells) inside an ODT file, the position of the worksheet is slightly off-center (or maybe the automatically calculated size of the worksheet is slightly wrong), so that when the OLE worksheet has its cell border visualized and with significant width, the top and left edge of the OLE worksheet can't be displayed in full and looks thinner than other cell borders.

This problem also presists in printing and PDF exporting.

Attached is an example file provided by the original reporter.  The second table in the attached file is an OLE object (the first is an ordinary Writer table).  I'll also attach an exported PDF and a screenshot illustrating the problem.

I reproduced the display problem in both 6.4.5 on Windows 10:
Version: 6.4.5.2 (x64)

And the problem with the width of cell borders persists.

Screenshot illustrating the problem

Here shows how the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the worksheet OLE object, when selected, are zoomed-in and displayed in Writer.  Note the left border is cut in half by the object boundary, while there are visible "white-space" outside of the bottom and right borders.

Dear zh_CN User Community Liaison,

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
