@ Loz Saunders (and @ all): Thank you very much for testing! However, I am sorry to say so, but your test suffers from the same error which I have made in my comments 18 to 21 ;-).
If we test with LibreOffice 3.6.2.2, as I did and you did, we may very well just reproduce bug 54862 (a regression introduced in LibO 3.6.x). What we need to find out is if *this* special issue, which has similar symptoms as bug 54862, but is far older and possibly limited to Linux, is still reproducible. To clarify this, we need to test with a version of LibreOffice in which bug 54862 is already fixed; i.e., either with a LibreOffice Master (3.7) build made after 2012-10-01 23:12:04 UTC, or with a LibreOffice 3.6 daily build made after 2012-10-02 10:57:30 UTC. You can download these daily builds from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ Or, in the near future, with some 3.6.3.x build (coming soon). If, and only if, somebody succeeds to reproduce this present issue, according to Sasha’s original description in comment #0, with such a *current* build, we know that this bug still exists, and can ask the developers to debug and fix it. Else, if several tests show that nobody can still reproduce this issue, we can close this bug report as RESOLVED/WORKSFORME, assuming that this bug was fixed somewhere in the development process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796261 Title: [Upstream] Merged cells in table not saved in DOC format Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit, LibreOffice 3.3.2 Created a table, merged some cells and saved in DOC format.
