Description Ron Toups 2024-06-25 17:50:06 UTC
Description:
Some cells having indented text continues to have more indents inserted (to some limit) upon successive spreadsheet changes/saves. This affects approx. 20% of the total indents I have in one of my spreadsheets containing a dozen or so worksheets. Though I can't be certain, it appears to be an issue when saving (FILESAVE) as I can open the spreadsheet in a non-LibreOffice editor and the number of indents was saved incorrectly. The issue happens every time with my provided example but doesn't seem to happen every time in my full spreadsheet.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I'm attaching a spreadsheet with simple and clear example able to duplicate the issue on my system.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Indent level often moves on successive document changes/saves

Expected Results:
Indents should remain as set


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I can reproduce this behavior, but not always.

Sometimes I get a lower indentation value upon reloading the file (instead of a higher indent). This suggests that the order of the actions (and which specific actions are performed) might have some influence.

It can happen with XLSX files too.

This is still occurring in 24.8.5.2.

Additionally, in these same LibreOffice versions column widths sometimes change randomly on any worksheet (even protected worksheets and ones that were otherwise not modified within the spreadsheet before saving). In my spreadsheet of a dozen similarly-styled worksheets it seems to choose the same columns to change the width on each time when the issue does occur.

I am unable to duplicate this behavior which seems to happen within several dozen random saves so haven't separately reported it but it does occasionally occur and may have a similar cause to the indenting issue I reported on this bug.
