Description friedrich.meissner 2013-01-08 10:44:55 UTC
Created attachment 72671 [details]
Screenshot with the difference between cell content and editing line highlighted

Problem description: 
================

When using automatic line breaks and hyphenation characters are shown multiple times in a cell, but only once in the editing line above the table.
Reproducable using Libreoffice 3.6.2.2 on Kubuntu 12.10.

Steps to reproduce:
===============

1. Enter into cell A1:
Gesamt-Rest-Aufwand (minimal)

2. Activate automatic line break and hyphenation
3. Compare displayed text in cell A1 and editing line (with focus on cell A1)

Current behavior:
=============

Shown in cell A1:

Gesamtt-
Rest-Auf-
wand (mi-
nimal)

(the "t" in "Gesamt" is shown twice)

Expected behavior:
===============

Gesamt-
Rest-Auf-
wand (mi-
nimal)

(only one "t" displayed)

Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 3.6.2.2 release
Comment 1 Jorendc 2013-02-01 00:10:23 UTC
Thanks for reporting!

Can't reproduce this problem using LibreOffice 4.0.0.2 rc2; Linux Mint 14 x64. Is it possible for you to test with current 4.0.0.0 rc2 or upcoming official release?

Kind regards,
Joren

I installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.2 rc2 on Kubuntu 12.10 and also can NO LONGER reproduce this misbehaviour :-) Thank You, LibreOffice development team!

Just for curiosity: What is the correct process to close this bug now (because it is not yet fixed in an official release, but only in a rc2)?

We set this kind of things to 'RESOLVED WORKSFORME' because we don't know which code repaired this behavior (if there is a patch specially build for this bug we set it as RESOLVED FIXED). You also can try LibreOffice 3.6.5 and check or it's also fixed there... but because it's fixed in LibreOffice 4.0.0.2 rc2 I think it's solved also on 3.6.5 (not sure, not all patches are backported to older versions)... But it's fixed :-), I'm glad to hear that.

Thanks for your feedback,
Joren

Please provide a document that we see this behavior then mark bug as UNCONFIRMED

Comment 9 friedrich.meissner 2013-05-06 18:46:12 UTC
Bug happens again in Libreoffice Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)) on (K)Ubuntu 13.04 as can be seen in the example document (Comment 7) and screenshot (Comment 8).
Comment 10 Jorendc 2013-05-06 18:50:05 UTC
Thanks for your additional information!

Still... I can't reproduce this behavior using Linux Mint 14 x64 with LibreOffice Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539).

Kind regards,

Just a guess: Maybe it only happens with german hyphenation?
Comment 12 friedrich.meissner 2013-05-13 12:04:41 UTC
Another guess: Both computers on which I saw this bug were running KDE with proprietary fglrx graphics driver.

Also cannot confirm, friedrich, have you tried resetting your profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

I just tried

rm -rf .config/libreoffice/4/user/

(after closing LO).

Then I opened the example document from Comment 7.

Is still has the same error (duplicated "t") as shown in the screenshot from Comment 8 :-(
Comment 15 ign_christian 2013-06-02 16:33:06 UTC
not reproducible on LO 4.0.4.1 (Win7 32bit) & LO 3.6.6.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit)

Requesting input from devs to see if they can help pinpoint where we can go from here

Comment 18 Michael Meeks 2013-11-14 15:52:09 UTC
It'd be great isolate whether KDE is related to this.
Can you do:

pkill -9 -f soffice.bin
export SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN=gen
oocalc

and re-reproduce the problem ? the suite should look -much- uglier :-) it'd be great to know if you can reproduce it there.
Comment 19 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-11-14 16:56:59 UTC
Moving to NEEDINFO per comment #18.
Comment 20 friedrich.meissner 2013-11-14 21:04:43 UTC
Sorry, I updated my system to

Kubuntu 13.10

with

LibreOffice
Version: 4.1.2.3
Build ID: 410m0(Build:3)

With my current system I can not reproduce the reported behaviour.
Hence there is probably no sense in performing the steps from Comment 18, right?

So I'm closing the bug as WORKSFORME.
Comment 22 Michael Meeks 2013-11-15 19:18:41 UTC
Not so fast - I'm confirming this - I don't get a new character but I get a corrupted character - that could easily be the same thing - just with different memory re-used ;)

corrupted character in my document
Comment 24 Michael Meeks 2013-11-15 19:21:00 UTC
So - the mess next to the 'o' should be an 'n' - of course this is openSUSE 13.1 - which hasn't shipped for long with Lord knows what X server & so on - so perhaps it's an un-related font corruption; I have LibreOffice 4.1.3 and using gtk2 (so no KDE issue), 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) etc.

Hmm.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

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 on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

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)

http://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: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!
