Bug ID: 170208
Summary: table/content without cell margin shifted left of the
page margin
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

The problem is that the table is too far to the left. In MS Word, the table has
no margin, and the border starts at the page/body margin.
Ultimately this is probably inherited from OOo. The particular document I am
focusing on did not load well at all in OOo, but already in 3.6.7 the table
borders are shown left of the table. A large (DEF_BORDER_DIST) cell margin is
seen here - and is the same size as the over-shift to the left.
The margin disappeared in 4.0, but the shift was still there.
The shift disappeared in 5.4 with commit

tdf#168598 Fix for tdf#148578 should only apply to RTF
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/191587
I expect the key to solving this is to notice that the cell margins end up
being zero, instead of a default value of DEF_BORDER_DIST.
Seem with many examples. The ones I noted were:
