Steps to reproduce:
1. make a group of lines;
2. make hidden some lines of the group;
3. collapse the group, then expand it;

Thanks for bugreport
Sorry, can not understand how to reproduce this bug.
Please, attach ods files, produced in step 2 and in step 3 before expanding.

steps 1-2

In file 'step1' there are five rows, three of them (#4, #5, #6) are grouped.
In file 'step2' we made rows 4 to 5 hidden.
Now we just collapse and then expand back the group by pressing '-' and '+' continuously. All hidden rows become UNhidden. The question is: Why?

Thanks for attachments
reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit
But also reproduced in msExcel 2003, so may be it is not a bug but a feature

What is interesting: in Excel lines, unhidden by described steps, are marked by dots (dots placed to left from line, near to "Grouping" marker)

It seems that the subject is really not a bug but an strange feature also present in Excel 2007-2010. In latest builds of LO Calc it present as well (I tested ver. 4.3.3 and 4.3.4). So, if developers decided to leave this illogical behavior for needs of compatibility with Excel ...well let it be. Personally I think that the line status hidden/unhidden must be saved independently of collapsed/expanded status of the group. Quite likely i am wrong.

You are right: there are unfortunately many areas where LibO must be "bug-compatible" with Microsoft Office :)
I'll close this as NOTABUG.

Thank you for testing.
