Video capture showing the problem

Suppose you have a 5 x 5 table in Impress and you select it and try to resize column widths and row heights with the mouse.

It is possible to achieve this for all columns/rows, except for the first column and first row.

For instance, suppose you want to resize the first column by dragging the external left border to the right (as shown in the attached video). Although the mouse cursor changes accordingly, dragging the border will not result in resizing.

I could use the right border to resize the first column, but it would not retain the size of the second column. So resizing the first column using the right border is not a good solution because I would then have to manually resize all columns since they would all lose their original width, one by one.

The same problem happens with the first row when I try to increase row height (see video as well). Decreasing row height works (without showing any preview), but increasing height does not work.

Another triager alerted me to this: this is not a regression. I tried with 5.0, 3.5, 3.3 and it is there. Triager said it is in 6.0.

Dear Rafael Lima,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
