[Bug 124250] New: Table: setting row heights with vertical ruler do not apply to table and are dropped

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124250

            Bug ID: 124250
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Table: setting row heights with vertical ruler do not
                    apply to table and are dropped
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.0-dev
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows, all
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: formatting
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: vstuart.foote@utsa.edu
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit us-EN /A administrative install of
AOO410m1(Build:9750)  -  Rev. 1568575
Rev.1568575

Looking further at errant behavior in Writer table layout between actions of
the horizontal ruler and the vertical ruler.

Mouse over movements of table row heights, with program focus in the text body
rather than the table, are not being applied into the table. While similarly
made column width settings are being applied.

To demonstrate:

With focus in the text body, the 'adjust table column' mouse over will activate
the horizontal ruler and show the column settings (pair of vertical hashes on
the ruler) for the table with mouse over pointer. A movement of the mouse over
handle moves the column hashes on the horizontal ruler--and then updates the
indicated table--the table never gains program focus.

The errant behavior occurs with focus again in the text body, the 'adjust table
row' mouse over will activate the vertical ruler and display the row height
settings (pair of horizontal hashes on the ruler) for the table with mouse over
pointer. A movement of the handle moves the hashes on the vertical ruler--but
then does NOT update the indicated table, also when released the vertical ruler
retains the changed hash placement and is no longer correct for the rows as set
for the table--again the table never gains program focus.

With focus moved into a cell of table object, both the 'adjust table column'
and the 'adjust table row' mouse over actions again are reflected on the
corresponding ruler, however the table is immediately updated by mouse over
hash movements on either ruler.

This is issue 2 partially described in the bug 124210 'WRITER - Table (top row
border) cannot be "resized upwards"' enhancement request.

Have not tested this yet on OS X or Linux build, so could be an issue there as
well.

(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2)

Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German
locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1566800 - 2014-02-12]" on German WIN7
Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile.

I think you observed an interesting side effect of the problem
0. Open attached Sample Document
1. Click into text above Table
   > Caret flashes in "Text Body"
2. Move mouse pointer to cell border below Cell A1 unitl Tooltip “Adjust Table 
   Row” appears and mouse pointer view changes
3. Click horizontal border and drag and drop ½ rowh height down
   Expected: increases row height of Row 1
   Actual: No row hight modification                                  :-(

(a) And indeed, as reported the row border marks in vertical ruler will move 
    with horizontal row border and NOT snap back after release of mouse button. 
(b) furthermore the table row marks in vertical ruler will no longer be 
    connected to table row borders, you can move them up and down without
    any influence to row height.
(b1) Unexpected is that after step 3 table marks in vertical ruler keep
     visible until yo do one more click outside table
(b2) Unexpected that after step 3 a first attempt to click a border below
     a row will fail, "move border" view of mousepointer will disappear after
     mouse click and caret will appear in table cell
(c) And I also think that my observations concerning strange unreliability 
    of table info in vertical page ruler is related, problem (b) also
    disappears after having saved the document (without closing).

[Bug 124250] Table: setting row heights with mouse over activated vertical ruler do not apply to table and are dropped

Created attachment 82618
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=82618&action=edit
simple writer document with text body surrounding a table

(In reply to Rainer Bielefeld from comment #1)

> @V Stuart Foote:
> Can you please attach a sample document and contribute a more simple, more
> clear instruction? Currently I do not know what might be "the text body",
> "mouse over" where (ruler? table?), additionally some other obscurities,

1.) open a new writer document
2.) ensure horizontal ruler and vertical ruler are active (tools -> options ->
OpenOffice Writer -> View  in the View panel Ruler check boxes)
3.) enter a couple of blank paragrahs with return key
4.) insert a table (5col x 4rows) from the standard menu drop down, or use the
Table -> Insert menu.
5.) on insert the table object will have focus, text cursor will be in the
first cell (1,1) of the table. The horizontal ruler will show column hashes.
The vertical ruler will show row hashes marking the widths and heights
respectively. And, the Table pop-up dialog will be open.
6.) move text cursor out of the table into the text body. The table does not
have focus.
7.) Horizontal ruler will change to show only tab stops and margins. Vertical
ruler will show only spacing below top margin. Table dialog will close.
8.) to exhibit the issue: 

a.)move mouse pointer onto a table column edge--the mouse over action 'Adjust
table column' will fire, click and hold the <left> mouse button to grab the
column edge--and the horizontal ruler will toggle into table mode showing the
column hashes. Reposition the hash--on release the ruler will hold new position
of the hash and the table will adjust width of column. Focus and text cursor
remain in the text body. This is correct.

b.) move mouse pointer onto a table row edge--the mouse over action 'Adjust
table row' will fire, click and hold the <left> mouse button to grab the row
edge--the vertical ruler will toggle into table mode showing the row hashes.
Reposition the hash--on release the ruler holds new position of the hash.
However the table does not update to the new row height and the vertical ruler
remains active in table mode showing the new row height hashes but the table is
not updated. It seems like the vertical ruler is holding for an update to the
table. The text cursor remains as before in the text body. A <left> mouse click
releases the vertical ruler and returns focus to the text body.

For layout adjustments to table when the table is not the active object--the
behavior of both column and row mouse over actions should be the same.

When text cursor is located in a table cell and the table has focus the mouse
over actions are the same. Specifically, the 'Adjust table row' heights are
immediately applied to the table.

--- Comment #1 from Rainer Bielefeld <ra...@bielefeldundbuss.de> ---
I can't reproduce the observations, probably because I do not understand the
report in all details.

With server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale -
[AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1566800 - 2014-02-12]" on German WIN7 Home Premium
(64bit)", own separate user profile I gambled a little with a table and row /
column marks in the rulers, nothing unexpected related to page rulers.

Well - some unexpected things I saw and might be related: sometimes the table
row handles in ruler for a second table do not appear, sometimes it was not
possible to adjust vertical row height of row although caret is in table, but
all those effects are very difficult to reproduce and disappear after saving
document (also without close - reopen). Might be related to report, might be
not, currently I can't decide.

@V Stuart Foote:
Can you please attach a sample document and contribute a more simple, more
clear instruction? Currently I do not know what might be "the text body",
"mouse over" where (ruler? table?), additionally some other obscurities,
