           Summary: The Top Side of A Top Table Row Cannot Be Resized

This has been originally reported by  Sam Jennings <sa...@hotmail.com> as
Bug 124210, what changed the subject during the Confirming process because of
some misunderstanding

-------------   Original  Report ----------------------
Steps:
Make a table and try resizing each outer edge:
Bottom
Right
Left

Observe that you can resize them.

Now select the top edge of the table.  It can not be resized.

Expected:
It should behave like the Bottom, Right and Left edges.
---------------- End of  Original  Report ---------------------

-------    Additional Info by Private mail Sam Jennings    ------------
[...] Behavior for top edge is not the same as it is for bottom, right and
left.  Moreover, there is no reasonable workaround.  The only alternative is to
resize each row beneath the top row, all the way down to the base of the
graph...which frankly is utterly inane.  [...] try making
a table 20 row table, and format each row exactly the size you want.  Now try
to resize the top cell.  [...]
----------------         End of  PM            ---------------------------

To be honest, I still haven't a clue what exactly reporter's problem might be.
"Resize top edge of the table"? Does reporter want to move top border of the
cell to move the whole table (I don't think so)? Or to resize row height of the
first row (I think so)? Ar of all rows? My interpretation is that reporter
wants to increase / decrease row height of first row by moving top table border
border up / down. But that is wrong, to increase / decrease row height of first
row you have to drag bottom border of first table row down / up, what only will
modify height of first row and not touch height of other row. So this one would
be NOT_AN_ISSUE

@reporter:
Please add all information requested in following:
a) Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
   "Top side of a top table row" is not clear 
b) Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link; to attach a file to this 
  bug report, just click on "Add an attachment" right on this page.
  If you want to attach a test kit with multiple documents zip them into
  a single testkit.zip and attach the  testkit.zip
c) Contribute a clear description what the intention of the table edits is 
  and a document related step by step instruction containing every 
  key press and every mouse click how to reproduce your problem 
d) Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
f) add information 
  f1) what EXACTLY is unexpected
  f2) and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  f9) Whether that worked in former OOO / AOO Versions 
  f10) whether (and how) a competitor's software (MSO, LibreOffice, ...)
       fulfills your needs

This should be closed as a duplicate.  The original bug report has all the
required information, including the expected behavior.  However, the other bug
which was discovered in the process of examining the bug this report duplicates
should have its own report.
