A1 cell with two lines
Sample file with line break added. Cell with a line-break in Writer |
||
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. Created attachment 95074 [details]
Cell with a line-break in Writer
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. |
