Bug ID: 127027
Summary: [FORMATTING] automatic column size for strings seems
to be adjusted to string character count, not
effective size (it disregards newline characters)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: xtrajo...@gmail.com
Description:
I have a collection (CSV file) of very long strings containing newline
characters to improve readability (not my choice - the API forces me to).
When opening the CSV with LibreOffice Calc, the vertical size of the cells
containing the 'array strings' is correct (shows multiple lines), but the
horizontal cell size seems to be determined by the character count of the
longest string, disregarding newline characters. As a result, the column is
much broader than needs to be for this kind of content. It should only be as
broad as the longest line (which ends on a newline character).
Note: I don't know the earliest affected version, but it's been this way for as
long as I can remember. At least 2 years?
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create long strings that contain newline characters
2.save to csv
3.open again with Calc
Actual Results:
column with long strings is very broad
Expected Results:
column with long strings should be as broad as the longest line (which ends on
a newline character)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
