Sample xlsx to reproduce the bug

Hi,

I noted a regression with Calc in 4.4.1.2 on Windows 7.
I cannot unhide the first column of an xlsx file (attached to this bug report) by dragging to the right the column separator line left to column B header.
The first column separator line is not draggable anymore.
However the column separator line between column G and column J is draggable and it permits to unhide the columns H and I as usual.

Best regards,
   Laurent Lyaudet

Hi Laurent, thanks for reporting.

Reproducible.
Win7x64
Version: 4.4.2.2 Build ID: c4c7d32d0d49397cad38d62472b0bc8acff48dd6

Going to A1 in the address box makes the column draggable again.

Reproduced on Linux and OSX with LO 3.3.0.4 - so not our regression as far as I can tell, but inherited from OOo

Hello,

The bug is still here:
Version: 7.6.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 60(Build:2)
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.5-0ubuntu0.23.10.1
Calc: threaded

I don't understand why it is not corrected yet.
It has been more than 9 years, since I encountered this bug at work.
Moreover, I gave an xlsx file cleaned of business data from my work in 2015.
So this is just a "simple debug task" since it is always reproduced.
I would have hoped that someone with skills in xlsx parsing in LibreOffice would have solved and closed this ticket.
It would avoid to lose time every two years on this.

Best regards,
    Laurent Lyaudet

This seems to be some visual issue with the specific file, attachment 114589 [details].

STR:

1. Open attachment 114589 [details].

2. Move the mouse to the left-side of the Column C _header_, in order to display the double arrow that allows you to grab the right-side of Column B and modify its width. This can be accomplished.

3. Try the same as in step 2 but pointing to the left-side of the header of Column B, attempting to display the double arrow that would allow to grab the right side of (the hidden) Column A and modify its width.

The double arrow is not displayed. > This is the original report.


4. Scroll the whole worksheet sideways, at least so Column B disappears (to the left) and Column C is seen as the first column on the left side of the main area. Scroll back to the original position, so Column B is seen again on the main area. This is the leftmost position; Column A is still set as "hidden".

5. Repeat step 3. This time the double arrow shows up, and the width of Column A can be modified.


* This proves that this is a visual problem, on this file. IDK how to replicate this problem with a new empty file.

* Instead of scrolling sideways (step 4), using the name/address box to focus on A1 as in comment 1 works too as a workaround of the visual issue.

* Please note that modifying the width of a column is not exactly the same as un-hiding it. It might be a subtle difference with no consequence for this particular (visual) issue, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
