Description for lost content with screenshots

There is a table, where the content of the header is saved in merged cells. For example A1-A3 has the header for all data from A4 up to A7 ...
If you mark this area and want to sort it (Date → Sort), it would sort the content (without the included format), but there seem to be gone the last two rows, in the example A6 and A7. This cells are empty.
Now mark the header with the merged cells. Set it back to single cells. The lost content is shown in the fields, which doesn't exist in the GUI for the user.

See the attachments for more details.

Its the same buggy behavior in
Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: fc0d494b8936ab11abca761810de8a03f579edf5
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-04-20_05:29:00

So nothing has been changed by any other fix here.

It's the same buggy behaviour in LO 6.2.4.2, tested with OpenSUSE 15, 64bit rpm Linux.

Note: You have to choose for sorting the option "without formatting". If you won't do it an error appears and there won't be sorted anything.
With this option the last two rows will disappear behind the merged cells.

Dear Robert Großkopf,

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
