Description Benjamin Bellec 2014-01-30 16:08:45 UTC
If I open the attached RTF file with Writer, the table are correctly rendered. But if I save the file with a new name (without doing modification on the file itself), close the former file and then open the "new" file, the table are misrendered: the tables take all the page width.

issue confirmed under Win7 64bit with many LibO releases from 3.6.7 to 4.1.4

I doubt such an old issue has never been reported before.
a Bugzilla search for duplicates is required.
Comment 3 Benjamin Bellec 2014-01-31 10:46:21 UTC
The problem doesn't occurs with Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1
Comment 4 tommy27 2014-01-31 12:24:25 UTC
@Benjamin Bellec
this is a valuable information.

later this evening I'll retest the issue with older LibO releases (3.3.x to 3.5.x branches)

I add an "RTF expert" to CC list.
Comment 5 Benjamin Bellec 2014-01-31 15:31:54 UTC
Thanks.
And to add a little more information, this is not specific to Windows, the problem happens also on LibreOffice 4.0.4.2 on CentOS 6.5.

bug reproducible with LibO 3.3.3 and OOo 3.3.0 so it's inherited from OOo
however it works fine with AOO 4.0.0 so the guys at Apache have fixed it somehow.

I reproduce this bug with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.0.3 on Debian x86_64.

Comment 11 Benjamin Bellec 2017-01-03 20:16:20 UTC
The bug is still present in LibreOffice version 5.2.3.3.
Tested on Fedora 25, libreoffice-writer 5.2.3.3-11.fc25 (x86_64).
Comment 12 Daniel Gualberto 2017-10-05 22:10:49 UTC
The bug is still present in LibreOffice version 5.4.2.2.
Tested on Windows 7, (x86).

I also experienced this bug in RTF table export filters too. The Writer can read the RTF table correctly, but it always exports it with width of the complete page.

I could also confirm that the bug is not present in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3.

Another simple test file.

Open, save as RTF with a new name, and reopen. All tables width will be set to the page's complete width.
Comment 14 Alexandr 2017-10-21 15:45:30 UTC
Reproducible with LibreOffice 6.0.0.0.alpha1.
