Description: Header contents on Calc spreadsheets get truncated (chops off some amount of the right hand Header field contents) when saving the file and either when exiting Calc or when reopening the file (either on FILEOPEN OR FILESAVE). This has been a problem in various builds of LibreOffice over the years and seemed fixed in 7.0.5. I just upgraded to: 7.2.1.2 (x64) build 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22 Windows 10.0 Build 19043, and the bug is back. Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert header contents in right hand field (name, address, phone, email) 2.save file & exit Calc 3.reopen Calc & load file, go to Print Preview & right hand Header contents is missing last 13 characters. 4. Appears to happen on either exiting the file (and leaving LibreOffice active) or when exiting Calc & LibreOffice. 5. I tried reducing # of characters in the right Header field by 5 characters, and that reduced the concatenation of the contents when exiting/reopening the file by 3 characters, so it is not a max# of characters problem 6. Once I repair the right Header field contents, it remains correct as long as the spreadsheet file is open (i.e. this is not a FILESAVE problem, it appears to do with either exiting or opening the file) 7. I tried opening other files and some retain right Header field contents properly, some get concatenated worse and some less bad. 8. There is no Enable OpenGL in this LibreOffice build, only SKIA 9. In the spreadsheet file attached herewith the Header had 10 digit phone# and 23 character email address below snail mail address Actual Results: Same bug, contents of right Header are truncated. However, once truncated, if I do not repair the field contents, save, exit, then reopen Calc & load the file, the truncation does not get worse. In previous LibreOffice versions I experienced random further erosions of that field if the file was not opened for many months then was opened- field would be further truncated (I have not had 7.2.1.2 for long so I can't test this) Expected Results: Always retain the Header contents unless deliberately edited. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: 7.2.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build: 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22 Environment: CPU Threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043 User Interface: UI render: SKIA/Raster; VCL:Win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Misc: CALC:threaded
Created attachment 175699 [details] Calc spreadsheet file showing bug in saved Header right hand field
Created attachment 183359 [details] Example ODS file I reproduce already with LibreOffice 3.3.0. Also with 7.0. So there does not seem to have been a regression related to this. It seems to be related to the text formatting in the middle field. If it contains plain text, the data is not lost from the right field. It is not necessary to have the date field in the left field. There is a backwards incompatibility with files saved with the latest version vs. older versions. So when testing with other versions, I had to create another file with LibreOffice 7.0. The attached ODS file is saved with 7.5 and older versions don't show any header.
