--- Comment #7 from QA Administrators  ---
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of
LibreOffice 
(5.4.1 or 5.3.6  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of
LibreOffice and 
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

(In reply to Robinson Tryon (qubit) from comment #5)
> UX: Please enlighten us with your input here ;-)

Use the default column size up to the page width (behavior today), then shrink
columns (suggested change) but not below 0.5 cm (or a sensible minimum). 

Alternatively, we could think about having a variable column width so that
pasted tables always fill the complete document width. But I believe that's
unwanted by the majority.

Looks to me like an ordinary bug an no cool enhancement.

(In reply to Jean-Baptiste Faure from comment #3)
 There is another workaround faster than adjusting column width with the
 mouse:

Hmmm. Sounds like the workaround is a 2-step process.

(In reply to freeseek from comment #2)
 To make it short and reproduce-able, this issue happens all the time when
 you paste from LibreOffice Calc a table with nine or more columns into
 LibreOffice Writer using the Formatted text [RTF] option.

Common problem; would be nice to have a 1-step workflow.

 This is not the default behavior on Microsoft Office.
 In Microsoft office the table width is set to the maximum width of the
 paper, which makes a lot more sense, as the user can then adjust it
 comfortably.

Sounds like a plausible enhancement request. Or perhaps there's something else
we can do to improve the user experience? 

UX: Please enlighten us with your input here ;-)

Version is oldest version that we see the problem - not latest tested on.

Never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED.

If the copied table flows out of the page, move the cursor inside the table,
right click - Table - tab Table - ajust the width, for example at 100% or
less or an absolute value. Now you can change the width of the last column.

This bug-tracker is not an helpdesk. You should ask for help on the users
mailing-list or on asklibo:
mailto:us...@global.libreoffice.org
http://ask.libreoffice.org

Closing as WorksForMe

Best regards. JBF

To make it short and reproduce-able, this issue happens all the time when you
paste from LibreOffice Calc a table with nine or more columns into LibreOffice
Writer using the Formatted text [RTF] option. There is no option to resize
the whole table other than what Jean-Baptiste Faure suggested. This is very
detrimental from a usability point of view, as there is now way to scroll to
the right to grab the right edge of the table, even if you zoom out. This is
not the default behavior on Microsoft Office. In Microsoft office the table
width is set to the maximum width of the paper, which makes a lot more sense,
as the user can then adjust it comfortably. So, no, this is a bug, and not a
helpdesk request. I am grateful to Jean-Baptiste Faure's explanation on how
to deal with this issue, but there will be other users facing the same problem.

--- Comment #3 from Jean-Baptiste Faure jbfa...@libreoffice.org ---
There is another workaround faster than adjusting column width with the mouse:
instead of pasting as Formatted text [RTF], paste as Unformatted text, then
select the pasted text and go to the menu Table  Convert  Text to Table... 
keep the default parameters and validate.
It works for me (the resulting table has the same width as the text area) even
if there is so many columns that each pasted line is split on 2 lines.

Best regards. JBF
