Hello freeman3,

Thank you for submitting the bug. Can you specify which column has fields that are not selectable, possibly with a screenshot.

Sample DOC reduced to 1-page table

This is not a correct bug report. 
Title "VIEWING: Forms in writer are not displayed correctly" is too general because forms are displayed fine. Text content in table is not, but it's not because of write-protect. 
To check text is there: Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C in cell to copy text, Ctrl+V in other document, clear formatting, text is there.
To confirm, I attach Sample DOC unprotected and reduced to 1-page table.

Same for DOC and DOCX, problem comes from vertical text with fixed spacing, as shown on attached test DOCX.

Original bugdoc in current 6.5

With recent improvements in BTLR handling the original document looks rather good with:

Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: bc898e2c2784e36ad4d4cdf6d962e39069d2c82d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL

The rotated text is still not (partially) bold though.

Simplified docx example in current 6.5

Attachment #135731 [details] in current master is still not the same as in Word:

Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: bc898e2c2784e36ad4d4cdf6d962e39069d2c82d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL

The problem is that the second tables first cell ("Vertical text with fixed spacing") has settings that make the text appear in Word until the word "fixed". As you can see it is right at the vertical cell separator line, as if the internal cell padding were ignored.

Writer on the other hand shows the word "fixed" cut vertically in half.

In this picture I had manually changed the imported 0.19 cm right cell padding to 0 and boom: the word "fixed" appears fully, like in Word.

Of course we get the red triangle too, since there is one more word in the cell.

Dear freeman3,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
