Base ODF report - Odd colums [SOLVED]

[mgl]

Hello,

I start from a former release of a report, under ODF format and had to update it. The former report did show properly 25 columns.
This report has : 1°) a page header, including a long label as report title with 25 labels as column headers underneath the long label, 2°) a detail section that contains the 25 fields.

I relocated the 22nd column in the 4th place and added-up a new one as 7th place. All labels have the same width and x-position as their related columns.

The result is not easily legible as there is an extra blank cell between the 6th and the 7th column and from then, every label is displayed in a two-cells fused cell. For the data fields, no extra cell between the 6th and the 7th column but every data is displayed in a two-cells fused cell.
So the column header and the data are not aligned under each other and when I try to copy and paste the data in a neatly formatted sheet with conditional formatting, the data do not fit in the right place.

As a sketch is better than a long speach, you’ll find the report in here

Thanks in advance for your help.
Michel

Hello,

This appears to be a bug. Your sample is not visible because a password is required.

However, you can take any existing report then add another field and the extra space is generated. Only method I can vision thus far is creating as a new report. Once something is move the problem arises.

You should file as a bug report here → Bugzilla

Also of note the problem actually exists in the text documents too - tables are greatly messed up.

The solution was to up-grade LibreOffice. Up-grade to Version : 6.4.2.2 Build ID : 1:6.4.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.3 solved this issue, thanks to bugzilla support.

Many thanks to Ratslinger too.
