File where Writer hides the first string of data in the table.

Sometimes users of MS Office create tables, where a long text is present in the header, and part of that text is hidden in MS-Word representation. The header of such a bad table looks different in LO Writer. (And I have no objections against this.) But the strange and insidious thing in the Writer is that it hides the first string of data in such tables. See the example file. Writer doesn't show the first string "String1". Thank you.

So this .odt comes from MS Word (version ?))
Comment 2 inforbano 2016-05-06 12:09:06 UTC
This .odt was saved in MS Word 2010 14.0.7166.5000. But the problem is common. It exists in .docx also. And was noticed with other versions of MS Word.
Comment 3 inforbano 2016-05-06 12:22:01 UTC
In .doc this problem also exists.

Dear inforbano,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
