Description Harald Koester 2012-12-14 18:09:49 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Open new text document.
(2) Define a left tab about 2 cm left from the right margin.
(3) Insert one word at the beginning of the first line.
(4) Insert tab. The Cursor jumps to the tab position of step (2).
(5) Insert a word, which is longer than 2 cm. When the right margin is arrived an empty line is inserted and the word is positioned at the beginning of the third line !!! Expected behaviour: No empty line and word is positioned at the beginning of the second line.
(6) Try to correct this behaviour: Set cursor at the beginning of the second line and then Backspace. It does not delete the second line but the last letter of the word in the first line.

              
Operating System: Windows 7

Dear Harald Koester,

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
