Disabling “Allow Table to split across pages and columns” works, but the parameter isn’t saved. Each time I reopen my file this option is enabled again :(
Created attachment 123333 [details] Test ODT with table that extends beyond a single page
TESTING on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit + LO 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ (2016-02-24_23:58:47) (In reply to synthview from comment #0) > Disabling “Allow Table to split across pages and columns” works, but the > parameter isn’t saved.

Thanks! Here's my best guess 1) Open attachment 123333 [details] 2) Check to see that the “Allow Table to split across pages and columns” option is set: Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Table -> New Table Defaults -> Do not split 3) Change the status of this option (e.g. if it's on, turn it off, and vice-versa) 4) Save the file and re-open RESULT: Seems to work fine for me, so perhaps there's more detail needed to repro the bug? Status -> NEEDINFO
Saving as odt keeps the option. But not when saving as .doc
Created attachment 123350 [details] save this odt as .doc to see the "keep table" is lost Here attached a test case. As you save as .doc, colse and reopen the file, the Keep table toghether option is gone.
Created attachment 125107 [details] docx file with a table split over pages. Disabling the "Allow table to split across pages and columns" option is not retained if the file is saved and reopened
Created attachment 126570 [details] Another affected file I created this file with LO 5.1.4. Unset the "Allow table to split across pages and column" option on Table format -> Text Flow dialog, saved, and after opening the option is set again.

This is a duplicate of bug 91083. It was reported here that this is a problem in 5.1, and indeed that fix went only to 5.2; I'll look at backporting the fix to 5.1. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 91083 ***
The two patches needed for this fix haven't been proven in the real world, so don't backport to the stable branch.
This wasn't actually solved by those bug fixes. For some reason, export is not marking all the rows/paragraphs as keep with next. Perhaps because of different column widths?
wrtww8nds.cxx // #i76520# Emulate non-splitting tables // bKeep: set keep at first paragraphs in all lines // bDontSplit : set keep at first paragraphs in all lines except from last line // but only for non-complex tables This is actually NOT considered a complex table, so emulation IS occuring. The keep-with-next table property emulation seems to be working for DOC/DOCX in both Word 2003 and LO. DontSplit emulation is not working in either LO or Word 2003. I expect that this emulation needs to be combined with a "do not split this row" property which is not being exported. (In reply to Justin L from comment #11) > For some reason, export is not marking all the rows/paragraphs > as keep with next. Since this is a two row table attempting to DontSplit, only the first row's paragraph should be marked as "keep-with-next". And it is. The problem with this little trick is that (Word 2003 at least) refuses to split a row even if it is larger than a page. So this emulation might have disastrous results on certain documents if implemented.
Created attachment 160377 [details] tdf98396_emulateNoSplitTable.odt: simple example as a unit test.
Created attachment 160379 [details] tdf98396_proof_of_concept.patch: export table-nosplit to rows for DOC/DOCX/RTF This patch works for DOC and DOCX. It also works for RTF with the caveat that LO does not read keep-with-next properties in RTF apparently. It works for Word 2003. But as I noted earlier, forcing a row not to split can have bad consequences IN MSWORD, so probably it is better not to emulate that in order to avoid a bad side-effect, because it is extremely hard to tell at export time whether a row is larger than a page or not.
(In reply to Justin L from comment #10) > The two patches needed for this fix haven't been proven in the real world, > so don't backport to the stable branch. So, at least one of those patches has been reverted in 7.0-ish, so I guess that is why I re-opened this bug report.
Dear synthview, 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!
