Description Mike Kaganski 2013-08-23 09:53:42 UTC
When cells in a table have non-default alignment applied (local formatting, not styles), and have been merged, consequent UNDO doesn't restore the alignment properly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new empty text document
2. Add a table with several columns
3. Apply central alignment to all cells
4. Merge all cells of one row
5. Undo.

Expected result: all cells in the table have central alignment

Actual results: all cells of the previously merged row (except the first cell) now have left alignment.

Tested with LO 3.3.0 - 4.1.0.4 and AOO 4.0.0 under Win7x64. Must be an inherited bug.

Thanks for reporting! I can confirm this behavior, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 9c45345a680f7444df251f9403c7d56572380f21
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-18_12:43:03

Marking as "Inherited from OOo".

Kind regards,
Joren

Still reproducible with Version: 4.4.3.1

Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+

Can't reproduce! The cell alignment is actually restored.
Comment 5 Mike Kaganski 2017-03-17 21:15:11 UTC
I do reproduce it using Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 5de40734af30a8b897c6c5b7f681759e36a25557
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: GL; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); Calc: CL

The build's commit is dated Mar 14, so newer than 5de40734af30a8b897c6c5b7f681759e36a25557 used in comment 4.

Please don't close as WORKSFORME if you cannot reproduce a problem right away; please write your findings first, asking others (and OP) to try to confirm them. It might be that you misunderstood the reproducing steps; or it could be OS-dependent; or something else.

Restoring the NEW status.

Sorry, somehow the commit id was wrong in my version's description. It was 1eb69f6b9c78b19d3944c90c17ff8d498affc316 actually.

Dear Mike Kaganski,

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
