Simplified test case format cell alignment reference edge inside for xls(x) export

I am attaching an ods file for a simplified test case.

Note: in recent Dev versions, the behavior is worse, even before saving, so ATM it cannot be really tested adequately; this should be a new bug report. Current LO 7.4 (and older) can still replicate the problem reported in this bug 148871.

STR:
1. Open newly attached ods file. Cell A1 is inclined, reference edge inside.
2. Save as xls or as xlsx.
3. Close and reopen the new xls(x) file.

Actual results:
Cell A1 > Menu Format > Cell > Alignment > (Reference edge) > should be "inside edge" as the ods file, but it is not.

Expected results (*):
Cell A1 > Menu Format > Cell > Alignment > (Reference edge) > "Inside edge" should be correctly exported when saving as xls(x).


(*) Having said that, I am not sure there is an exact 1-to-1 equivalent attribute in xls(x) format. Maybe a similar result can be achieved by setting/exporting other/alternative attributes in Excel(?).

Dear Pierre,

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
