After merging vertical cells, text in the aggregate cell appears as if it had a *negative* bottom border spacing. This misalignment is greater as the number of merged cells increases. With a Default or Bottom vertical alignment, any text in such a large number of merged cells disappears below the bottom border. To reproduce: - select, say, 4 cells vertically - select Format -> Merge Cells -> Merge Cells - enter text in the merged cell - ensure that vertical alignment is set to Default or Bottom - examine spacing to bottom border of text Repeat, merging a larger number of vertical cells (say, 12). Visibility of text may be achieved by choosing a vertical alignment of Top or Center, or setting a large spacing to bottom border. Doesn't seem to affect top, left, or right alignments. Also, there doesn't appear to be a similar effect for horizontally merged cells.
confirmed in 3.5.3.1 (Linux/32) but inconsistent: after testing a while, the effect disappeared. Scrolling down + up again (so that the cells disappear from visible window area and reappear again) changed the spacing in an unpredictable way. Maybe a rendering problem? @ jmichaud02478@gmail.com : could you add screenshot to show how big the effect is?
Created attachment 60398 [details] screenshot showing decreasing bottom text spacing with increasing number of merged cells
for me this is not reproducible with LO 4.3.1.2 (Win 8.1) Can you or anybody else still reproduce this issue with the latest release of LO?
@Andi: yupp, seems to also work in 4.3.1.2 Linux/RPM/x64 ==> changing to WFM :-)
