Description Hans Gatu 2025-12-31 06:31:26 UTC
Description:
In a certain spreadsheet, that I use every day, I have set some columns to 1.2 cm width and some to 1 cm width.
Then my numbers fit perfectly and the spreadsheet fit the screen perfectly.
It stays like that for some days, maybe a week or so.
Then suddenly, when I open the spreadsheet, the columns are 1.17 cm (instead of 1.2 cm) and 0.97 cm (instead of 1 cm) and then my numbers doesn't fit the columns anymore, so they show up as ####.
Why does the columns changes them self?
Why does the columns not stay as I have set and saved them?

I use Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 580(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: sv-SE (sv_SE.utf8); UI: sv-SE
25.8.3-3
Calc: threaded

But this is not a new problem.
I have had the problem for several earlier versions of LibreOffice Calc.

Steps to Reproduce:
As in Description.

Actual Results:
As in Description.

Expected Results:
The columns should stay as I have set them.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Spreadsheet reduced to only one tab.

The spreadsheet has tabs where each tab represents a year. The original spreadsheet has tabs from the year 2003 to the year 2028, but is now reduced to only 2025.
