Description Muthu 2012-08-15 10:52:24 UTC
Created attachment 65598 [details]
Sample spreadsheet.

Steps:
1. Open the attached document.
2. Start typing a long text in F5

Observation:
Once the text in F5 goes larger than the cell width, it jumps to center of E5:G5 instead of being centered at F5.
This is quite irritating while inserting the text.

[Could be a candidate for easy-hack.]

It looks like a regression to me as in LibO 3.4.3 we got What You See Is What You Type. The text remains centered in the original cell and is expanding from both sides as you type.

The behaviour for left justify, right justify and filling is as expected. Only Centered seems to act strange.

Verified under Windows 7 and LibO version 4.0.0 beta 1

Best regards

Leo

I can confirm the bug in
Version 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0)
on Ubuntu 12.04 (x86)

I have changed the priority to major, as it seems to be an regression and it will show up for many users, as it happens for very basic formatting.

I can confirm the problem still exists in version 7.0.1 and is especially annoying when the neighbouring cell is significantly wider than the cell where the text is entered. It looks like the data is entered in the neighbouring cell
Comment 10 Aron Budea 2021-08-09 04:46:54 UTC
Already in 3.3.0, not a regression.

Dear Muthu,

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
