Description Michal Hlavinka 2010-11-29 12:17:11 UTC

Description of problem:
Deleting a table column (in writer) that contains merged cell removes also other columns whose cells were used to create merged cell. If cells from all columns were used whole table disappears. I have spent half a hour wondering what's going on, why whole table disappears when I just select one column to be removed. The reason was that table's last row was just a one cell created by merging last cells of all columns, this cell was on next page (table was spread over three pages) so it was even not visible to help understand what was going on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreoffice-writer-3.2.99.3-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start writer
2.create 3x3 table
3.select all cells in any row
4.rightclick -> cell -> merge
5.rightclick on any column -> column -> remove
  
Actual results:
whole table removed

Expected results:
only selected column removed, merged cell should be still created from remaining columns

Definitely reproducible anyway

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 20:10:42 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 21:46:34 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-30 00:33:25 UTC

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
