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.

tdf#88496 DOCX: disable long repeating table header


At least the invisible "String1" is visible, compared to Word 2016 the BTLR writing direction is still not retained and the cell with long text is resized to show all the text - these may worth a followup...
