[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit). 
documents look more or less equal in all OOo / LibO Versions I tested starting with OOo 1.1.4

Steps how to reproduce:
1. open attached sample document
2. Search for String "Ещё пример задания"
   > Under heading you find a text area with grey background
     Below some 2 columns listing
   Expected: looks like in WORD
   Actual: WORD shows quite a normal Table, LibO a completely different 
           looking listing without cell borders and contents totally mangled

This document shows several (may be related) different table problems, some of the tables look very strange, with "ghost tables spitted away, ... . We will limit this bug to the problem shown in the first table

@Sergey
Is information available how this document has been created 8with what software)?
Can you please submit additional bugs for the other problems with link reference to the sample here for other bugs?

I know this document has been crated in March 2012 in Microsoft Word.

Then. Find these words:
"В фрагменте базы данных представлены сведения о родственных отношениях. Определите на основании приведенных данных, фамилию и инициалы племянника Симоняна Н.И."

There are more than one example of cell borders.

Repro 6.2+. 
I rename to "tables content shown as text from .doc and not shown from .docx if created in Text Box inside Drawing Canvas". 
I'll also add somewhat modified 1st page .doc and .docx.

Comment 19 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-10-08 10:28:45 UTC
Canvas is imported as grouped shape, which consists of editeng shapes. Those in turn cannot contain complex content such as tables.
The whole grouped shape handling should be moved over to writer shapes, see bug #100074 about a start.
