Description Jan Colaris 2014-10-18 12:43:47 UTC
If one is hiding some rows/lines and saves the spreadsheet as XLS - after opening it again the contents of the cells in these rows is hidden, the lines/rows show as empty lines/rows but are returning !!

Created attachment 108089 [details]
example as required

An example of the problem.
Lines 3 to 50 were hidden several times and saved/opened again – the lines with content are hidden normally – the empty lines are returning after saving and opening again.
 
Hierbij een voorbeeld: de regels 3 t/m 50 (deel zonder tekst) werden diverse malen verborgen na openen en toen weer opgeslagen – bij opnieuw openen blijven de regels met inhoud keurig verborgen, terwijl de lege regels bij opnieuw openen steeds terugkeren !
 
Met vriendelijke groet,

Jan J.E.S. Colaris

Also tested this in OpenOffice - there the lines stay hidden after opening again
Comment 4 Cor Nouws 2014-10-20 08:31:43 UTC
Hi Jan,

Thanks for the example.
I cannot reproduce it in version 4.3.3.1 on Ubuntu.
What version and OS do you use?
