Description info 2022-02-23 13:14:57 UTC
Maybe a duplicate of bug 143142 (for verion 7.1.4.2)

Libreoffice Writer

Version: 7.0.4.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Debian package version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u1
Calc: threaded

Table properties dialog changed behaviour: Tab columns does not show more than 4 columns anymore. Only the first 4 columns are editable.

How to reproduce:

Open a writer document
Insert a table with more than 4 columns
Right-klick the table (opens the context menu)
Select table properties (opens the dialog window)
Select "columns"

Expected behaviour:
The right arrow button should be active.
A klick on this button shows the next (5th) column.

Bug (actual behaviour):
The right arrow button is inactive (greyed out).
A klick on this button does nothing.

Please excuse that I am only able to report the behavior of the "actual" version used in Debian stable (Buster):

Version: 7.0.4.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Debian package version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u1
Calc: threaded

How can I install a newer version AND get back to the regular Debian track afterwards?

Can you try Appimage? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
Comment 5 info 2022-08-23 08:58:24 UTC
Tried to use Appimage, but unfortunately the links on the page are timing out, e.g.:

https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/stable/standard/LibreOffice-fresh.standard-x86_64.AppImage

and

https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/stable/standard/LibreOffice-still.standard-x86_64.AppImage

Even a 'ping libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com' failed.

I will try again later.

By the way:
What's the difference between a "Fresh" and a "Still" Download? There is no explanation on the page.

Update:
The problem seems to be solved in version 7.3.5. Verified for

- Version: 7.3.5.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: x11
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE

- Debian package version: 1:7.3.5~rc2-1~bpo11+1
Calc: threadedVersion: 7.3.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 0f246aa12d0eee4a0f7adcefbf7c878fc2238db3
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win

Please note:
The site providing the 'appimages' (libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com) still times out. A 'ping libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com' still fails, but other URLs work (e.g.: 'ping www.soluzioniopen.com')
