Description ludovic.crepel 2024-02-10 17:24:43 UTC
Description:
In a document with columns within columns, when I modify some texts, it disappears and is replaced with a red triangle.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with subdivided columns;
2. Fill them with text;
3. Add or remove a character.

Actual Results:
The whole sub-column is replaced by a small red triangle (pointing right), and the next parts are messed up.

Expected Results:
Add or remove text, pushing to the next column if needed.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Between screenshots 1 and 2, I just deleted the blank line above « Dons ».

Please, attach a sample file to test.
The red triangle means that the text overflows. But I can't guess by the screenshots why.

Also add the version information (menu Help - About). Thanks.

Sample file showing issues

Adding a line in one of the two bottom sub-columns creates an offset in the next page / main column.
Removing a line break hides the text of the whole sub-column.

I am not sure about the older version it appeared in, I believe I always had it. Updating to 24.2 did not change anything.

Reproduced the issue:
- Place cursor before the heading "Dons" in the left half of the page
- Press backspace
Result: red triangle denoting hidden contents next to "Inventaire" heading. Ctrl + Z does not restore original layount. (See also bug 159698.)
