Created attachment 115037 [details]
document containing 2 tables, each with two rows with merged header cells

When Tables are saved as HTML from Writer, with headers on multiple rows (Table Heading style) which also have merged cells spanning across rows, merged header cells aren't included.

This is because <thead> doesn't include any more than the first row, even though it would be expected of the second table in the example.

printscreen and exported file

Hello,
works for me with Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: e9fbe1f7cd28de2a9da8089d89e903406165eb56
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-04-25_00:20:28, 
see printscreen in attachment. Seems to be fixed.  Closing as WFM.
Comment 2 Matthew Millar 2015-04-25 20:11:06 UTC 
raal, does LO 5 also save docx files correctly?

In LO 4, merges between table heading and body cells are split into single cells again when saved as docx.

I've retested the original attached fodt, and it saves identically as docx in LO 4.4.1.2.

I will create a separate bug for the fodt -> docx issue I'm experiencing with a different document.
