Created attachment 184794 [details] Tables in multi-column sections: no heading repetition Version: 7.4.3.2 Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Narrow tables with many rows are inserted in a multi-column section in order to compact them (spread them across the width of the page) and spare paper. Heading repetition is requested through Table>Properties On reloading the document in a new Writer session, heading is no longer repeated and flag in table properties is erased. A right-click for Table Properties to request again heading repetition results in a behaviour where the table part in the last section column has no heading and randomly other preceding columns. Workaround is to right-click in the faulty column to set the flag. However it is not kept across sessions. Attached file contains many such tables. In addition, setting the repeat flag may cause the table layout to go completely awry with blank columns inserted! Related bug 150149
No repro exactly with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 17c68fad2aef917adfdd3d4d651da786e620699c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Open file, set Table properties > Repeat heading, save, reload. Table heading are visible in the document, but Table properties > Repeat heading unticked (bug). Can you test it with dev version? Thank you.
In 7.4.4.2, 7.5 RC2 and 7.6 alpha0+: 1) Setting the repeated heading in A.2.ASCII table results in two last table sections (i.e. 4 columns) not having headings. No need to save and reload to see the option lost in the Table Properties. If saved and reloaded now, repeated headings are lost (as the option is off). 2) Setting the option _a second time_ in the same session applies headings on all the table sections. Now the option persists when reopening the dialog. Save a reload does not lose the option, the headings persist. As I see it, it is the same issue as described in bug 150149. I don't think right-clicking in specific columns makes a difference, it should all lead to the same Table Properties dialog. Can you give precise steps to reproduce the issue with blank columns being inserted? That sounds different.

That sounds different. > No. It happens randomly and I can't see any behaviour pattern. Usually, I fix it by adding an empty paragraph in the last cell preceding section blank columns and removing it.
