Description kwalsh1058 2024-11-20 20:38:22 UTC
Description:
After asking LibreOffice to split a cell in an existing table, all of the text was reformatted to Liberation Serif, 12-pt font. It does not change kerning or spacing (thankfully). If I hit undo, it will undo creating the split cell, but it will not change the text back to the font/font weight I had.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with a different font/font-weight.
2. Split a cell in the table.
3. Be sad.

Actual Results:
The text within the table was reformatted back to Liberation Serif but maintained kerning adjustments and line spacing. The text in the row that was split also lost any bold/italic formatting but the rest of the text maintained the bold text.

Expected Results:
Expected the table to maintain all original formatting.


Reproducible: Always

Please attach a sample file, reduce the size as much as possible without private information,
and paste the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is a copy icon.

Thanks for the report.

Reproduced on Linux with  a recent own build at c5834bcfacba768fb361ae273534f1eac63f546f and in LO 7.0.

This is the same as bug 143234, which happens for tables with an "autoformat" / style. Test for example in a new file: table inserted with Table > Insert > Default Table Style, then apply formatting, then save and reload the file, then split a cell.

I am marking as duplicate of bug 143234 but I think this is most likely the same root cause as the long-standing, often-reported bug 126008.
