Description gmolleda 2023-02-25 21:33:28 UTC
Description:
In some table in Impress when copying and pasting it changes its height. In others not. That is why I am attaching a file with a table where I indicate its height so that you can copy and paste it and see if it changes.
We have tried several people and only one did not, others with Linux Mint 20.3 XFCE, Fedora 37 KDE, with Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601, with different versions of LO, 7.4.5.1, 7.5.0.3, 7.4.4.2, installed from repositories and from flathub (flatpak).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the attached file
2.select the table
3.Copy
4.Deselect the table
5.Paste the table
6.The new table is more higher

Actual Results:
The new table is more higher

Expected Results:
The new table is identical to old table


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
It doesn't happen to everyone, it does to the majority and it always happens to them.
If I create another table, it no longer happens to it.
Maybe this table is imported from another powerpoint presentation.
The problem is that I use the expand-animations plugin that allows to convert the presentation to a pdf, each change creates a new slide but if it changes the table when copying it doesn't look good.

Comment 2 gmolleda 2023-02-25 21:40:19 UTC
It doesn't happen to me in the first version of LO: 3.3 running on Win7
Comment 3 gmolleda 2023-02-25 22:09:34 UTC
In version LO Impress 6.0.3.2 the size changes very little, but it does.
Comment 4 gmolleda 2023-02-25 22:23:14 UTC
LO 3.5.7.2 is ok.
Comment 5 m_a_riosv 2023-02-26 00:36:30 UTC
Reproducible with
Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: es-ES Calc: CL threaded

The problem seems to be in the first two rows. The ones changing their height.

Cut & Paste shows the same issue.

It is really much worse in master. It changes from Predeterminado_1_1 style to Default Drawing Style
Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Dear gmolleda,

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
