Example document

If vertically oriented text is present in the first cell of a 2 (cols) x 1 (rows) table, and a long text (arguably longer than the page) is pasted into the adjacent cell (horizontally aligned), the table will not split in the next page regardless the value of "Allow row to break across pages and columns", and the remainder of the pasted text is hidden.

Setting back and forth "Allow row to break across pages and columns" will have no effect.

Setting back and forth the alignment of the first cell, adding and removing a paragraph break will do the job by splitting the table across pages.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Make a 1x1 table via the toolbar button
2. Write some text in the first cell and make it vertical (via the "text alignment" parameter in the table properties)
3. Paste a long text in the second cell, whatever the text (20 paragraphs of "lorem ipsum", numbers from 1 to 100..) but for sure longer than the page with the actual top/bottom margins (i.e. 2cm) and font and size settings (i.e. "Liberation mono 10").


If an autostyle NOT containing vertically aligned text is applied, the problem will disappear; but the problem re-appears if after that the vertical alignment is restored.

Dear Edgar Grill,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa
