Description Saren Tasciyan 2025-06-13 08:13:56 UTC
Description:
I am working on a confidential impress file, where in each table, typing is a nightmare. The caret is huge and it expands the row vertically. Even new tables have the same issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
I don't have any steps to reproduce. This is a specific problem with a specific file, where I did not do anything funny to cause such an issue. But within the file you can follow these steps:
1. Got to top row, put the caret and start typing after the word

Actual Results:
The caret became enormous, the height of the row was so high that I wasn't able to see my typing. It was hard to fix the row height.

Expected Results:
Row height should not have changed, the caret should have had the font size.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I tried now also with LO 25.2.4.3 release and still the same issue. A newly created file does not have this issue.
