Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-02-21 04:57:44 UTC
Split from bug 159196, this is a regression in 7.6.

Steps:
1. Open attachment 191950 [details]
2. Click in cell with text "Task 1.1"
3. Delete column
4. Undo

Result: hangs; no table.
No issue if changes are not tracked.

Using linux-64-7.6 repo, bibisected to first bad build [ef40a621e99ce3c3abd2ad9b67915eec060f3ef8] which points to e91faddabdf5d586c0044a3e125bdea6c2e21532 which is a cherrypick of:

commit fe43f5971dfd2a121634eea9e39c7ad0cf3f962a
author	László Németh 	Thu Jul 27 15:40:52 2023 +0200

tdf#156475 sw tracked table column: delete empty cell
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154994

Before the commit, the whole table with its contents would be restored after undoing.

Things have changed in step 3 since then: whole table disappears at step 3. But this is something that was also seen in early versions (e.g. OOo 3.3), so it is tracked separately in bug 159196.

László, can you please have a look?

I just noticed bug 159195, seems very similar but it was bibisected to a different commit.

Dear Stéphane Guillou (stragu),

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
