Screenshot showing ghost space

When I import a docx file created by Microsoft Word and it contains tables, then LibreOffice v3.4 Beta 5 renders "ghost" lines to the bottom of every cell, regardless (?) of the font size or contents.

It means that it is not a line you can delete, it's some kind of blocking space.

I attach a screenshot of the rendering in LibreOffice compared to MS Office and the document itself.

Somebody with MS Word at hand may check whether this applies to paragraphs or whatever in general as I've seen another corrupted document with strange vspace outside a table.

It's really related to paragraphs.

When editing the paragraph settings, the "spacing - below paragraph" option tells me 0.35cm in case of the sample document.

Additional notes:

The presented document contains a section (in styles.xml):

    <w:docDefaults>
        ...
        <w:pPrDefault>
            <w:pPr>
                <w:spacing w:after="200" w:line="276" w:lineRule="auto" />
            </w:pPr>
        </w:pPrDefault>
    </w:docDefaults>

and according to Microsoft, this is a global default setting.

A bit down the file we can find:

  <w:style w:type="table" w:styleId="Tabellenraster">
        ...
        <w:pPr>
            <w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="240" w:lineRule="auto" />
        </w:pPr>
        ....
    </w:style>

which overrides the table's default paragraph after-spacing to 0, but the latest 3.4 LO doesn't seem take care of this.

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.
