(Nasser Abosaq, Seema Gandhi. 03/05/05) We find out that when applying above spacing for a table in print layout view using the OO writer 1.9.79, the table disappears and the cursor is placed in space between the two pages. Steps of producing the bug: 1. Open new write document 2. Set the page layout to “print layout”. View -> print layout 3. Create a table 2x2 4. Click in any cell of the table 5. Right click the mouse, choose Table, then click on the table tab and set the above spacing to valid Maximum value Or another way is using menu: Table -> Table properties -> Table tab, then set the above spacing to valid Maximum value 6. The table disappears and cursor is displayed in placed between two pages However Table is placed properly when changing to web layout.
confirm with 19m81, after giving a value for "Above Spacing to table" such as 100cm (= higher then page size) OOo will render the page incorrectly. To prevent users from inputing nonsense values it should be checked in the dialog before.
MRU->OS: the table dialog should only allow values which make sense for above/below spacing in table properties. These should depend on the current size of the text area.
Prio adjusted to P5. I see no _real_ problem in allowing values that don't make sense somewhere as long as they work as expected.
I have successfully replicated the bug with my windows environment Windows XP(SP2) with Open Office Version 2.0.3 and Linux red 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.CSE.smp. Note : The above spacing drags the table towards down and once the table goes to the second page then the actual bug occurs as the cursor goes in between both the pages.
