Description tmacalp 2014-08-09 02:25:18 UTC
Description:
Shrink to fit cell size now concatenates cell contents that normally would have overflowed partially into the next cell.   

For some reason, this bug is only visible on screen when the cell contents begin with a number, but it seems to always cause errors with print/pdf export/preview.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a blank calc sheet. (with the stock template)
2. Enter “1this should overflow” into any cell.  The text should overflow partially into the next blank cell.
3. Enable “Shrink to fit cell” on cell containing the text.

Expected:
Even though the contents “1this should overflow” previously partially overflowed into the adjacent cell to the right, the entire string should now be shrunk to fit inside the cell. 

Actual:
The contents are shrunk, but the string stops being displayed right at the line where it normally would overflow into the adjacent cell.  This turns “1this should overflow” into a shrunken “1this sho”, with blank space filling the rest of the cell.

Notes:
Oddly enough, if you copy and paste “1this should overflow” into the cell instead of typing it, this bug doesn't trigger.  Also, if you enter enough text to overflow too much(over 85% of the adjacent cell), the bug doesn't trigger.  This bug showed up somewhere between LO 4.2.4.1 and LO 4.2.5.2, but I can bibisect if needed.

I tested and can confirm this bug with the following environments:
LO 4.2.6.2 running on 64bit RHEL6
LO 4.2.6.2 running on 32bit Fedora17
LO 4.3.0.4 running on 32bit Fedora17
LO 4.2.5.2 running on 32bit Fedora17

I tested and did NOT see the bug in the following environments:
LO 4.2.4.1 running on 32bit Fedora17
LO 4.1.4 running on 64bit RHEL6
OpenOffice 3.2.1 running on 64bit RHEL6

Based on the bug prioritization flowchart, I'd say this regression would at least rank a Major-High priority.
Comment 1 crxssi 2014-08-09 17:30:58 UTC
Confirmed in LO 4.2.6 under RHEL 6 and in LO 4.2.5.2 under Fedora 20 (NOT present in LO 4.0.6.2 under Mageia 3.  Changed status to NEW/Confirmed

Nasty bug.  This is a regression (and just marked it as such).  Agree with Importance of medium/major.  Not only does it screw up display, but also printing and export.  Impossible to produce quality/professional work and corrupts outputs.
Comment 2 Joel Madero 2014-08-11 17:08:19 UTC
This is not major - this is normal.

Normal - can prevent high quality/professional work
High - regression so bumped up from medium

Couldn't source bisect this because builds in the bibisect range are mysteriously non-functional

However, from reading the commit messages, the below looks like an extremely likely suspect:

    fdo#75665: Truncate string when clipped on screen.
    
    This improves performance of text layouting by HarfBuzz for very long strings.
    HarfBuzz's layout algorithm appears to be more expensive than ICU's.
