In the process of testing some forms I previously built in LibreOffice 7.4.3.2, using LibreOffice 24.8.5.2 I have noticed that there seems to be a difference in the way Tables containing conditional sections are handled.
In 7.4, the table row would shrink when a conditional section was hidden. In 24.8 the row does not shrink and none of the table size settings seem to remedy the problem. Is this a bug or was 24.8 intentionally designed this way? I need to upgrade from 7.4 but don’t want to have to redesign hundreds of templates that were already built in 7.4 because of this difference. Any insight, advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.
I have attached images for illustration purposes:

figure2 - LibreOffice 7.4 with section 1 (green) hidden
figure3 - LibreOffice 7.4 with section 2 (blue) hidden
figure4 - LibreOffice 7.4 with both conditional sections hidden
figure5 - LibreOffice 24.8 with section 1 (green) hidden
figure6 - LibreOffice 24.8 with section 2 (blue) hidden
