Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57943
WW8: second row in complex table erroneously repeated
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:50 UTC
I was sent an MS Word document that contained a table. The table flowed over three pages with the header being repeated on the second and third pages as expected. In addition, the first row of the table body was also repeated. I opened the document in MS Word and Word does NOT repeat the first row of the body on the second and third pages. The header of the table is arranged as follows: The first 5 colums contain only one row. The last column is split into two rows. I changed all the contents of the table to remove any sensitive information and verified that the problem still occurs. I tried creating a new document with a similar table in MS Word, but with a header that consisted only of a single row. This one did not display the problem. When I split the last cell of the header of the table into two rows, the problem was back. I am running OOo on Debian unstable. The version of the packages is 2.0.0-1. The version of MS Word that I used is 2003 SP1.

Excuse the multiple attachments. Firefox crashed on me a few times :( Attachments 2 and 3 should be identical to the first one, so they can be deleted if possible.
I checked the Word document with m138 and the two header rows work well there. Closing as WORKSFORME. Will be in 2.0.1
.
Reopened, does not look optimal with 680m139 build.
MRU->FLR: the fact that the first row of the table contains splitted cells seems to confuse the filter so it sets the first two rows to be repeated.
