Bug ID: 166210
Summary: Table rows not shrinking when conditional sections are
hidden LibreOffice 24.8.5.2
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the process of testing some forms I previously built in LibreOffice 7.4.3.2,
using LibreOffice 24.8.5.2 I have noticed that there seems to be a difference
in the way Tables containing conditional sections are handled.
In 7.4, the table row would shrink when a conditional section was hidden. In
24.8 the row does not shrink and none of the table size settings seem to remedy
the problem. I need to upgrade from 7.4 but don’t want to have to redesign
hundreds of templates that were already built in 7.4 because of this
difference.
I will attempt to add images for illustration purposes
figure1 - The table, with both conditional sections showing
figure2 - LibreOffice 7.4 with section 1 (green) hidden
figure3 - LibreOffice 7.4 with section 2 (blue) hidden
figure4 - LibreOffice 7.4 with both conditional sections hidden
figure5 - LibreOffice 24.8 with section 1 (green) hidden
figure6 - LibreOffice 24.8 with section 2 (blue) hidden
figure7 - LibreOffice 24.8 with both conditional sections hidden
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Insert a table in LibreOffice 24.8.5.2 (1 row, one cell is fine for testing
purposes). Enable borders for ease of viewing the table row size in relation to
the sections and text
2) Insert 2 hidden user variable fields named SectionOne.Indicator and
SectionTwo.Indicator. Set the example value in these fields to "N"
3) Insert a conditional section into a cell with text identifying it as
Conditional section 1. Hide condition: SectionOne.Indicator EQ "Y"
4)Add some hardcoded text (not in a section) in the same table cell
5) Add a second conditional section in the same table cell with text
identifying it as Conditional section 2. Hide condition: SectionTwo.Indicator
EQ "Y"
6) After sections and text have been set up, open the user fields and change
the value for the first indicator field from "N" to "Y". Observe the outcome on
the ODT
7) Change the value for the second indicator field from "N" to "Y" and observe
the outcome in the ODT
Actual Results:
Sections show/hide appropriately based on the conditional logic. White space
suppresses between the text when the sections hide, but table row does not
shrink when sections are hidden.
Expected Results:
In version 7.4 the table row would shrink when sections were hidden
Reproducible: Always
