Description Heiko Tietze 2023-05-04 12:34:35 UTC
Spin-off from bug 142515: multi-line text may exceed the row height and could end up in a situation where the last line is not hidden. We show an overflow indicator for lengthy text if the adjacent cell has content and should do the same in the vertical direction.

Confirmed with attachment 172385 [details] in:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 83b1f6b58a30bdb589e9ce73deef39f021aebde1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Same in OOo 3.3.

An easyHack?

The problem is still not clear to me, as I've only partially read the linked issue. I think the EasyHack should be self-contained, and the mentee should understand the issue from the contents.
I hope we can add information to the first post, after editing becomes possible in the new version of Bugzilla.

Description:

There is no indication that cell content that overflows vertically is not visible because the row height is not sufficient.

Steps:
1. Open attachment 172385 [details]

Result: some content in merged cell B2 is not visible

Expected: visual hint that not all data is visible, like for horizontal overflow.
