Bug ID: 159690
Summary: “Wrap text automatically” badly handled in Calc 24.2
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
This bug has never happened in Calc ≤ 7.6.4 and is so annoying.
Whenever I open an ods file or create a new one that has some text that is
longer than the cell size, there comes a point when Calc starts to behave as if
the option “Wrap text automatically” is set true for each cell I move through.
As I browse the file, rows start expanding at their own initiative when you
move out of one cell of the row.
As each cell is changed at once, this also fills the undo list with a lot of
“Attributes” actions.
I don’t know what triggers this situation, because sometimes the problem starts
as soon as the file is open, but sometimes after a series of actions or edits.
The file that might trigger it is irrelevant, even a newly created one can do
it.
To work it around, Calc has to be stopped and then it would keep the expected
behaviour for a longer or shorter while, until the bug starts again. Sometimes
it starts from the first action.
Of course I tried to set and reset all the options related to text wrapping for
all the cells in the sheet in the Ctrl 1 options, but it doesn’t make a
difference; Calc ultimately loses its usual behaviour.
Tested on two computers Windows 7 and 10, even with a new profile.
Steps to Reproduce:
↑
Actual Results:
Cells are automatically and not expectedly transformed into active “Wrap text
automatically”.
Expected Results:
Work the way previous Calc versions worked. Don’t change behaviour in the
middle of the action flow. Don’t set “Wrap text automatically”
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Please don’t release new “features” that are not thoroughly tested and create
regressions.
