The case is even more serious, since the attempt to only delete a column can delete the entire table:
The table has 3 columns and three rows. I merge the cells of row #3. In column 3, I select the cells in row #1 and row #2. >From the icons menus, I select Delete selected columns. Result: My table is deleted. Expected: The selected columns should be deleted, i.e. merged into a neighboring column. Thus, after nine years, the original report by uls6502 can be confirmed 100%, although this is a rather serious bug. -- 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/462564 Title: [Upstream] Deleting a column in Writer deletes whole table Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in OpenOffice: Invalid Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/462564/+attachment/894856/+files/test.odt && lowriter -nologo test.odt is when one highlights the second column of the table -> secondary clicks -> Column -> Delete is only that column is deleted.
