Description vaurat 2021-01-14 10:22:50 UTC
Description:
the only option i found to prevent the text in *a single line* to overflow the cell in the right of it (because this is my direction of reading), is to wrap text.
wrapping is not the solution as it adds the rest of text in a multiline form.
explained here : https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/59578/prevent-text-overflow-in-other-cell/
i think this option is missing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.typing a long text to have it longer than the width of a cell
2.press enter

Actual Results:
3.see it overflow the EMPTY cell just in the right of it.
4.search how to prevent overflow without wrapping it
5.be disappointed :-)

Expected Results:
having a checkbox in Properties /alignment panel and/or add an option in "format cell..." popup.


Reproducible: Always

Type at least a space character in neighboring cell.

I found an older report that seems to request the same thing. I am closing yours as duplicate, I hope you agree.
