Bug ID: 170890
Summary: DOCX Import: Floating + Nested Tables Overlap and
Collapse in Writer (Tables displayed correctly in MS
Word)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Opening the attached DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer results in table layout
corruption, including:
*Overlapping tables
*Compressed or collapsed rows
*Misaligned inner tables
*Content shifting over other tables
*Multi‑page tables breaking incorrectly
The same DOCX file displays properly in Microsoft Word, so this appears to be a
LibreOffice DOCX import/layout issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the attached SampleFile.docx in LibreOffice Writer.
2.Scroll through page 1 and page 2.
3.Observe overlapping and collapsed tables.
4.Open the same file in Microsoft Word → layout is correct.
Actual Results:
Multiple tables overlap each other
Inner tables shift outside their cells
Tables collapse vertically
Some rows overlay other rows
Layout breaks further across pages
Expected Results:
The DOCX should render identically to MS Word, with:
No table overlap
Correct nested table placement
Proper row heights
Proper multi‑page table splitting
Floating tables positioned without collision (per Word behaviour)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
