Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-02-21 21:32:58 UTC
The effect is [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.1 RC2 – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (build 8 / tag 3.3.1.2)]", but only in the sample document. I did lots of tests with own documents without success, I was not able to reproduce the problem.
Problem is not visible with OOo 3.4-dev

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:

Reproduced with

LOdev 3.5.0beta2

No magic self-fixing for this bug so far.

Microsoft Windows Vista Business 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002

This does not occur using Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (11.5612.6505).

This one might be related to "Bug 34717 - FILEOPEN FORMATTING: automatic row height is too small in particular .xls".

Already a problem with 3.3.0, but oK with AOOo.


Bug description here is wrong, the problem is not that the row height changes when editing a cell, but that the row height is too small when you open the document with LibO. The edit heals the problem.

I am nearby 100% sure that this one is concerning the same problem as "Bug 34717 - FILEOPEN FORMATTING: automatic row height is too small in particular .xls".

So I mark this one as a DUP, because in Bug 34717 we have most advanced examinations. 

@reporter:
Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you find evidence that we have an independent issue here.

Rainer Bielefeld,thank you for working on this report. Regarding your comments https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34552#c6 :

>"This one might be related to "Bug 34717 - FILEOPEN FORMATTING: automatic row
height is too small in particular .xls"."

Agreed in that this is similar in the problem to bugs 34717, 50044, and 39486 due to .xls correlation, and seemingly, the code requiring a fix. However, this bug is about how when one modifies the document while already open and then undoes, the row height is no longer honored. The other bugs are all about the problem already occurring when one only opens the file.

>"Already a problem with 3.3.0, but oK with AOOo."

So, this problem exists as early as LO 3.3.0, but does not in current AOOo? If so, which AOOo version specifically?

>"Bug description here is wrong, the problem is not that the row height changes
when editing a cell, but that the row height is too small when you open the
document with LibO. The edit heals the problem.

I am nearby 100% sure that this one is concerning the same problem as "Bug
34717 - FILEOPEN FORMATTING: automatic row height is too small in particular
.xls".

So I mark this one as a DUP, because in Bug 34717 we have most advanced
examinations.

Regarding this bug, the Bug Description is not wrong. It describes verbatim the bug phenomenon the downstream bug reporter wants a developer to address. This may end up being addressed by commit(s) issued for the 3 other reports previously mentioned, or vice versa. But, until this is so, let us please leave this unduped.

Thank you for your understanding.
Comment 8 Julien Nabet 2013-01-01 21:01:58 UTC
I tried to reproduce this on:
- Debian x86-64 with 3.6 sources updated today.
- Win7 64, with 3.6.4.3
In both cases, I haven't reproduced the behaviour described in comment1.
Of course, I had to undo twice, since there were 2 actions to undo.
Perhaps I missed something but could someone give a try with 3.6.4.3?
Comment 9 Christopher M. Penalver 2013-01-03 02:54:39 UTC
Problem reproducible in:
Microsoft Windows Vista Business x86
6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002
Version 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0)

However, the row height changes to 0.21", instead of that reported in the Description (0.40").
