Description Moritz Duge (allotropia) (a.k.a. kolAflash) 2014-09-19 15:23:27 UTC
If a row becomes very high, different problems appear.


To Test, create a small column (5 cm) in Calc and copy this whole text to into one field.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum

After that Calc becomes really slow.

You also can't look at the lower (sometimes also upper) end of the row by scrolling.

If you print this, the lower end of the field won't be printed at all. Instead it should be put on the next page.

Correction
----------

Use this text

https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum


And you have to set:

right click field
=> Format Cells...
=> Alignment
=> Wrap text automatically

reproducible with LO 4.3.1.2 (Win 8.1)

Due to the fact that the text is very long you can't verify this on a normal screen size by zooming out.  You will need to print it for instance as a pdf and then you can recognize that not all the text is shown.  This is also a similar problem with Excel, but it would be great if you would not have with LO the same problem as with Excel.  I experience this quite often when I insert a longer text.

Problem is still there in LibreOffice 5.1.2.2

Can't view lower parts of the row when scrolling.

Printing doesn't print the whole text.

LibreOffice also gets very slow for a moment if you click the cell with the long text.

Partly fixed in 5.3.3.2.

LibreOffice doesn't become slow anymore.

But it's still impossible to view the lower end of the cell by scrolling.
Comment 7 Thomas Lendo 2017-05-28 10:29:00 UTC
I also confirm that handling rows which are higher than the canvas view is immature. Text that is longer can't be handled by the user.

Adding it to the Calc UX tracking bug.

@kolAflash: due to the 1 bug report for 1 issue rule, please add another bug for the printing bug and link to this bug in the See Also field.

Here it is: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108730

I also added an example file to that bug report, which can be used for this bug report too.

kolAflash: it is suspected we have a duplicate as bug 108560.
Could you test with version 4.2, to see, if the problem is not yet in it? https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/
