Description juksud 2024-05-27 01:34:09 UTC
Description:
Hiding a section that contains a table creates at least one page break in the location of the section in the sequence of paragrahps. A higher number of extra pages between the paragraph immediately before the section and the one immediately after it seem to be related to the existence of empty cells in the table.

This problems only affects tables. Sections containing charts, images and OLE objects are OK.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a section
2. Create a table within this newly created section
3. Hide the Section

Actual Results:
One ore more pages are inserted between the paragraphs before and after the section, as if one or more page breaks were added.
Plus, the contents of both the section and the table are completely hidden, but, if the table borders are colored, one of the borders of the table can still be seen at the top of the extra pages.


Expected Results:
Hiding the section completely hides the table, its contents and its borders without inserting pages or anything else between the paragraphs before and after it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Multiple column sections do not create page breaks, but the colored table border can still be seen at the top of one of the columns when the section is hidden.
