Nested tables import wrong in LibreOffice master, while libreoffice 3.4.x with the sw-nested-positionned-tables-ww8-import-fix.diff patch from libreoffice/build renders them correctly. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/tree/patches/dev300/sw-nested-positionned-tables-ww8-import-fix.diff Master renders the test document different that WORDVIEW.EXE with and without the patch, so I guess the patch has to go anyway.
Created attachment 53701 [details] test document
@rene: I suggest the patch as is to be dropped for 3.5 @mst, caolan: Any idea, what causes the regression?
Oh, even more fun: This worked without the patch in 3.4! So: a) For this test document (provided by mmeeks) the patch has no effect in 3.4 (works in both cases) or on master (works in neither case) => The patch has to die anyway. b) It worked on 3.4 unpatched and doesnt on master unpatched => regression independent of patch.

Maybe of some interest, or just for the record: I don’t see any difference (anymore) between how LibreOffice 3.4.4 display the test document and how master displays it -- using LibO-dev 3.5.0 Build ID: 549f928-b211287-090bcba-45cf606 Build date: 2011-12-01 running on MacOS X 10.6.8 German Will attach a screenshot of how it looks now. A screenshot of the wrong display would be helpful ...

Well, here (3.4.4-0ubuntu1) I see the "B" letter at the beginning of the outer cell, not floating free somewhere.
vanilla 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 for me all display the same "floating" B
This is a Writer issue, therefore changed 'Component' field accordingly.
Still got the 'floating B' in the latest 4.0 - and since Caolan can't reproduce this as working in the older versions, it's hard to see it as a regression surely ? Clearly the B should be inside the table as MS Office shows it.
I'd like to remove this from MAB as no other bug has been reported that I can tell about this issue in 13+ months but I'll defer to your judgement Bjoern. For now, moving this to 3.6 MAB, if you feel like it can be removed and just be in our regression list then let's do that. Otherwise, maybe we can nominate for hard hack so that this is taken care of?
