Description icerabbit 2013-10-29 15:47:11 UTC
LibreOffice 4.1.0.4 Writer - Mac OS X 10.8.5 

I have added the "Repeat" (Shift Command Y) button to my toolbar, and come to notice it does not always allow to repeat an action.

Consider a full page table with multiple empty rows as spacers.
I have previously reduced the font size to 6 in the empty rows, to create room for more rows in the document.

I noticed however that despite the font being smaller, that it didn't shrink the row height.

So, I used Menu > Table > Autofit > Optimal Row Height
which shrinks down that row.

When I highlight another row to do the same, I cannot use "Repeat". It is greyed out in the button bar? And doesn't respond to the key press. 

Expected behavior is that it would repeat the last action.

I am not sure if it possible to reproduce the last action when this action must be preceded by a select action.

Possible workarounds:
1/ select all the rows to be shrunk before processing; 
2/ record a macro (?)

Best regards. JBF

icerabbit: Can you please provide a test document so this can be tested against and subsequently be confirmed. If your document contains sensitive data, please clear that or replace it with random information.

A step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue is most helpful and will help to speed up the processing of this problem a lot.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.

After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)

Also might want to retry with LO 4.2.0.1 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Let me set this to New and change to: repeat not working for Table > Autofit > Optimal Row Height.
Doesn't work in 3.3.0 either, so inherited from OOo.

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 43967453e15e1d054972a7586cfef8f8e0866270
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

Calc: threaded

Effectively, some actions can be repeated, and others not.
For example, when I add a line to my table, after, if I use the command to repeat the action, nothing happens.
But, if I write "a" in a cell of my table, and then, repeat that in another cell, it runs.
It seems that the structure parameters of the table cannot be repeated.
