Created attachment 95016 [details] A1 cell with two lines Problem description: <text:line-break/> are ignored in cells. Steps to reproduce: 1. Generate a file with a line break or open the attached file Current behavior: All line breaks are removed, leaving only one line of text. On save the new lines are gone from the file. Expected behavior: The cell should display one line above the other. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.2.1.1 release
The file opens and saves fine in OpenOffice 3.2. In LibreOffice 3.6.2.1 the single line is hidden. I.e. If the file content was line1<line-break/>line2 then the cell content is line1line2\n but only the second empty line is displayed unless the row height is grown.
Created attachment 95063 [details] Sample file with line break added. Hi sylvain, thanks for reporting. Your file open without line break in 4.1.6 4.2.1 4.2.2 But adding a line break, save, open in any of this version with line break. find attached the new file.
Hi, sorry if I wasn't clear, the bug is ignoring the XML element <text:line-break/>. Not the UI feature of line break which in Calc insert a new <text:p>. But this could be connected as in Writer inserting a line break in in the UI creates an actual <text:line-break/> element.
Sorry hit save before finishing my last sentence ; But this could be connected as in Writer inserting a line break in a table cell from the UI creates an actual <text:line-break/> element. I've attached a sample.

I have not found if it might be available in ods files as part of cell text.
The XML syntax is the same for all document types, see 9.1.1 in OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1 and also 6.1.1 Paragraph Elements Content/Basic Text Content/General : "The paragraph elements <text:p> and <text:h> and their *descendant elements* contain the text content of *any* document." IMHO this clearly says that <text:line-break/> (just as <text:s/> and <text:span>) should be supported everywhere by LibreOffice and not just in Writer. All the more since multi-line UI is already supported in Calc.
OSX behaves identical thus OS > All. Not sure if this should or should not be working. Setting to Enhancement and NEW. We need a dev to chime in on this if this enhancement request makes sense or not.
