An example doc

Hello,

Table cells can be merged. When tables cross the page limit, it can be splited. The problem is when I use vertical text (90° rotated) with centered aligment inside cell.

I'll attach an example doc.

1. Create a table that cross the page limit
2. merge the first cells between the last row on the first page and the first row on the second page
3. Type anything on it
4. configure it as 90° rotated
5. configure it to center the text inside the cell (middle alignment)

Current behavior:

6. Text is misplaced and some of it is not shown

Expected behavior:

7. Text is shown
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.2.3 release

Another related problem, but with text split

This might have the same root. This time, the problem is that text is splitted in the incorrect place. The "1234567" goes up and "89" goes down while the expected result would be All text down or "1234567" down and "89" up.

I've been able to reproduce the behavior with your document and a new created table _when_ the page is formatted to A6. With a A4 format, the table rows are correctly split. 
I'm using Version: 4.1.3.1
Build ID: b42498da0e3f91b17e51b55c8295ec4f8f22087 under Ubuntu
I set the issue to New - Sophie

The A6 format is just to help reproduce the problem. However, I first noticed it in a A4 page doc.

Still reproducible in LO 5.3.0.3.

See also bug 61128 and bug 73955, both describing how merged cell can be split over page breaks, despite the "Allow row to break across pages and columns" being unchecked.

Repro LO 6.5+ in Windows.

Comment 12 Lars Jødal 2021-12-28 06:58:15 UTC 
Using the test documents, the problem is still reproducible in LO 7.2.4.1.

However, creating a new document, the result is somewhat different: The text is split between the two parts (before and after the page limit) of the cell. This split is not especially nice, but it could be argued to be the correct behaviour. 
(Bug 73955 still applies as a related, but separate issue).
