** Changed in: openoffice Bugwatch: Novell/SUSE Bugzilla #437567 => OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker #95669 Status: Invalid => Unknown ** Summary changed: - [ooo-build] openoffice.org spreadsheet grid lines missing + font color in spreadsheet not displayed correctly ** Description changed: + The original bug report was about a MS Excel compatibility feature that + just hasn't been added to official openoffice.org yet. + + There is a real bug here however in that it does not show font colors + for certain cells properly and this happens even in official + openoffice.org 3.0.0. + + === + In hardy with openoffice.org 2.4.0, there is a problem with the spreadsheet where some sheets don't show grid lines. This is an existing spreadsheet that I created years ago and use with each new version of openoffice. It works ok with any new spreadsheet I create, but only is a problem with the old one. Therefore, I cannot repeat tell you how to reproduce this bug. This may be similar to a bug reported on gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219351 but, in my case, the work around of changing the background color to white makes no difference. I downloaded the openoffice.org-2.4 binary from openoffice.org website and tried it and the grid lines worked fine on my old spreadsheet. For me, the only work around I could find is to select the whole sheet (Cntl-A), then go to menu > format > cells > borders > select all cells bordered and set border color to light grey. This at least looks like a grid when the sheet is displayed. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Triaged -- font color in spreadsheet not displayed correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
