Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-04-12 10:26:15 UTC
[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit). 
documents look more or less equal in all OOo / LibO Versions I tested starting with OOo 1.1.4

Steps how to reproduce:
1. open attached sample document
2. Search for String "Ещё пример задания"
   > Under heading you find a text area with grey background
     Below some 2 columns listing
   Expected: looks like in WORD
   Actual: WORD shows quite a normal Table, LibO a completely different 
           looking listing without cell borders and contents totally mangled

This document shows several (may be related) different table problems, some of the tables look very strange, with "ghost tables spitted away, ... . We will limit this bug to the problem shown in the first table

@Sergey
Is information available how this document has been created 8with what software)?
Can you please submit additional bugs for the other problems with link reference to the sample here for other bugs?

I know this document has been crated in March 2012 in Microsoft Word.

Then. Find these words:
"В фрагменте базы данных представлены сведения о родственных отношениях. Определите на основании приведенных данных, фамилию и инициалы племянника Симоняна Н.И."

There are more than one example of cell borders.

Repro 6.2+. 
I rename to "tables content shown as text from .doc and not shown from .docx if created in Text Box inside Drawing Canvas". 
I'll also add somewhat modified 1st page .doc and .docx.

Comment 19 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-10-08 10:28:45 UTC
Canvas is imported as grouped shape, which consists of editeng shapes. Those in turn cannot contain complex content such as tables.
The whole grouped shape handling should be moved over to writer shapes, see bug #100074 about a start.

Dear Sergey,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
