Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 31990
wrong table column insertion
Last modified: 2004-07-23 13:18:34 UTC
I click at column to get cursor there. Then I do right click -> column -> Insert -> 1 Before But it creates 2 columns, and twice-before.
Created attachment 16703 [details] The document
Created attachment 16704 [details] It's not visible, but the cursor is in 4th column (Cena)
Created attachment 16705 [details] Two columns instead of one, and at wrong place
Wow, let's continue. I place cursor in the second of the created columns. Right click -> Column -> Delete. What happens? The Writer suddenly jumps to the top of document. I go back to table, and I see BOTH columns deleted.
The same results if I try deleting not the new column, but the old one that shrinked after misplacing the two new columns (this time column 5 Náplň Äierna).
Well, back to Insertion, back to picture one. I try to achieve the insertion from the left side. I go to Column 3 -> Column Insert ->1 After. Result? Again, miscreated 2 columns, twice after, to the right from the base column.
I'd like to attach screenshot, but I don't see an option on my Issue screen!
It seems the bug is somehow connected to the two bottom rows with merged columns. If I delete them, the insertion works correctly. Seems like insertion code is not able to face table where different rows take place. The insertion code should count the row where insertion is made and insert the column to the both directions (up and down), and if there's some change in rows behavior, consider what to do (split cells? or stop insertion?). Certainly, should not act as he does. This is out of scope of this bug, however. In the attached document there's no uncertainity what to do with "Insert column" command. The command is correct upside down the whole table.
That's right, the behaviour is due to the fact, that this is a "complex" table (with merged cells). See issue 31115 for further information. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 31115 ***
