Description Tobias Burnus 2012-01-20 05:30:06 UTC
The RTF file http://www.dfg.de/formulare/10_03/10_03_rtf.rtf contains many tables.

In Word (Office 2003), the first two cells (one cell per row) does not extend the whole page width but only ~5.75 cm. That's the cell "DFG-Geschäftszeichen" and the cell below it.
In LO 3.5.0rc1, the first two cells/rows extend over the whole page width.

A similar issue exists for item "5.". In Word, the "5." is at the same margin position as the "1." to "4.". In the same line, the first row of the table follows, while the first two rows nicely match in width and position of the vertical border between the two cells in each row.
By contrast, in LO the "5." is further to right (where the first cell should have been) - while the first row starts even later and thus only covers half the table width of the succeeding table rows.


Additionally, the width of the border looks rather different (in all zoom levels). In Word it looks about 3/4 as thin as in LO. Word claims a border width of "3/4 pt" while LO claims "0.75 pt" - thus, the width should be the same ...
Comment 1 s-joyemusequna 2012-01-20 11:06:54 UTC
Confirmed with LibO 3.5 Beta3 and Windows Vista.

But a *giant* amelioration compared with LibO 3.4.4, where the result is totally unusable.
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2012-03-20 23:22:28 UTC
WordPad under Ubuntu/Wine shows the 5. at the same position as LO 3.5, that is in the first cell of Table6. Numbers 1 to 4 are normal paragraphs. So where is the bug ? In MS-Word or LO ? ;-)

That said, Wordpad confirms the problem with the size of the two first cells. But I do not know if it possible to have a non rectangular table in LibreOffice.

@Miklos : what do you think about that ?

Best regards. JBF

Cell/Rows width is imported correctly with LO 4.1.1. on Windows 7 SP1 and the whole document appears quite good, but:
- the "5." is still further to right
- the "6." does the same
- there are mistakes like checkboxes not visible and incorrect fonts bold
Comment 4 Teo91 2013-09-29 13:36:44 UTC
Notice: the "5." and "6." items are shown correctly on AOO 4.0
Comment 5 Alexandr 2014-08-07 12:56:31 UTC
Reproducible with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 on Debian. I see 3 issues:
1) incorrect width of the first 2 cells;
2) incorrect position of 5. and 6. ;
3) no checkboxes in 6. and 8.
Comment 6 Alexandr 2014-08-07 14:13:39 UTC
> 3) no checkboxes in 6. and 8.
The issue with checkboxes is reported as bug 44984.

Reset Assignee to default till I actually start looking into this.
Comment 10 Miklos Vajna 2016-08-19 22:09:38 UTC
I had a look at this again, this is still a problem even for docx, so probably better to fix that first. In docx this is about the gridBefore/gridAfter elements, gridBefore is handled by cf33af732ed0d3d553bb74636e3b14c55d44c153. I'll look at extending that to also handle gridAfter. Once that's done, something similar can be done in the rtf tokenizer.

but I'm too fast with looking at rtf, since the fix referred in comment #11 is for docx.
Comment 15 Cor Nouws 2016-09-01 10:07:18 UTC
a ~similar issue for docx does show a much better result with this build.

I just saw that this is no longer available there, however, it is at
https://web.archive.org/web/20170628024552/http://www.dfg.de/formulare/10_03/10_03_rtf.rtf – thanks to the Wayback machine.

Thanks  (although, I did not have the change to test it, yet)
Comment 22 Timur 2019-12-09 13:24:08 UTC
I tested again with this fix and it's still OK.

There are some differences in details but that doesn't affect bug status.
Like, "DFG-Geschäftszeichen" row is not full table size, I guess there's another bug for that. 
Or, numbers 5., 6., 10. are differently positioned because of additional cell in MSO.
