Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-11-24 07:36:39 UTC 
Created attachment 70503 [details]
Sample Document

I found this problem doing some research for "Bug 51524 - [Fileopen] [XLS] cell-width of invisible cells are not remembered "

Attached sample document has been created by opening Attachment 63569 [details] of a.m. Bug, and saving after having expanded / collapsed columns A...C 1 time. It's an Excel8 document.

Steps how to reporoduce with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.0  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4]":
0. download sample document
1. Open document from LibO Start center
   > You see a small '+' button above column heading D
2. Expand / collapse Columns A...C by clikcing the small + / - button above
   column heading 
3. Click Cell N+, type a blank and <Return>
4. Save as "document2010LibO333.xls" (MSO97)
5. close document 
6. Reopen
   Expected: again the little '+' as in step 1
   Bug: You see a '-'

Clicking the '-' will do nothing except changing it to '+', from then on it will work normal. But proceeding as per step 2 and following again will again change the '+' visible when you save the file to a '-' when you reopen that document

EXCEL 2010 does not show the wrong '-' when I open "document2010LibO333.xls", seems to be more tolerant, more clever or whatever

Same problem sith OOo 3.1.1, so Problem is inherited from OOo

Still [Reproducible] with parallel installation of Master "LOdev  4.0.0.0.alpha1   -  ENGLISH UI / German Locale  [Build ID: dec8fe)]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-11-13 06:07:28} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate /4 User Profile for Master Branch

@Spreadsheet Team:
I hope you agree with my decision to forward this one to you although still some aspects of the problem are unclear, I doubt that "normal user skills" can bring up more useful info.
Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug or forward the Bug if it's not your turf (and remove others in team from CC).
Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-11-24 07:41:50 UTC 
Sorry, in step 3 I wanted to type "N6", not "N+"
Comment 2 A (Andy) 2012-11-24 08:27:17 UTC 
reproducible with LO 3.6.3.2. (Win7 Home, 64bit) and checked with Excel 2007

but the step 3 is actually not necessary to reproduce; if you skip step 3 you will get the same odd behaviour of LO

Dear Rainer Bielefeld Retired,

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
