Description Andrew Moore 2020-11-05 18:59:45 UTC
Description:
Given a .docx file with a multi-page table configured to have the header row repeat on every page, the table isn't rendered correctly when importing to LibreOffice and converting to PDF. This can be fixed manually in Libre by stepping over the table and going to 'Table -> Properties... and unchecking the "Repeat heading" option.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a .docx file with a multi-page table with LibreOffice.
2.Observe that the table isn't rendered correctly.
3.

Actual Results:
The table isn't rendered like the original .docx file in Word.

Expected Results:
The table should be rendered exactly like the original .docx file in Word.


Reproducible: Always

DOCX with multi-page table
Comment 2 Andrew Moore 2020-11-05 21:31:01 UTC
I tried this by converting the document to a .doc (Word 97-2004) format and the tables render correctly in the document.

DOCX resaved in MSO without "repeat as header row"

I confirm the bug with LO 7.1+. 5 pages table opens on a single page. Seems inherited from OO.

I attach DOCX resaved in MSO without "repeat as header row" (and without some irrelevant text). 
It opens OK in LO after ace6bbf3da9ae27aca87865b6be887a3aed341fc from bug 64264.

repro 7.6+. This is not a floating table.
