Description Pascal Becker 2023-03-09 08:20:01 UTC 
Adding a section with two or more columns and content spread automatically across all columns. Insert a table inside. Activate the option "Repeat table headline". The table displays with a headline in every column.

Now adding rows to the table by typing tab in the last cell or with the functions "add row below" or "add row above" and at some point the option "Repeat table headline" in the table options gets disabled and stays that way.

I can't confirm it with

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b5c3a7502f7ff6ccf0f829c1f3a2ba50b8584c41
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

Does it also happen in Safe Mode (Help -> restart in SafeMode) => NEEDINFO
Comment 2 Pascal Becker 2023-03-24 06:41:24 UTC 
It also happens in Safe Mode. It shows the exact same behavior.

I tested it more closly in nomal and Safe Mode. Formly I wrote it happens with two or more columns. Now I figured out it just happens with sections of 3 columns and above.

Very chaotic behaviour of table in section


Steps:
1. Open a new document
2. Insert -> Section with three columns
3. Place cursor inside section -> Insert -> Table (2x2 and "Repeat table heading" active) => Table in first column of the section
4. Place cursor in last cell of table and press tab key => additiononal row in table in first section column (maybe expected), but section expands to the bottom of the page (not expected)
5. Press tab key twice => table (with heading) in third section column (not expected; should be in second section column)
6. Press tab key twice => whole table again in first section column
7. Press tab key four times

Actual behaviour
Table in first and second section column, but without repeated heading (option is disabled in table properties)

Expected behaviour
Option "Repeat Heading" still active

Perhaps duplicate of bug 150149

Thank you both.
I agree this is most likely a duplicate. Marking as such.
