Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 69196
Insert Row does not work when editing Table
Last modified: 2023-12-09 16:48:13 UTC
When I try to insert a row when editing a table, the row is not inserted above where the cursor is positioned. The cursor jumps to the first empty line at the bottom of the rows. However, the insert function does work correctly for any table created, but only before the table is saved. After the table is saved for the first time, the insert function does not work any more for that table.
clu->koosjr: i cannot follow your description - may you write a more precise and repro step by step description - do you use the internal database (hsql) or anything else? do you edit the table structure in the table design mode or do you edit values in table insert mode? read bevore: http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/basic_rules.html http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/bug_writing_guidelines.html thx
as i got a private mail from sender, i add his further description to this issue 1. Go to Tables 2. Press "Create Table in Design View" 3. Create a couple of fields. 4. Right click between any two fields and pres "Insert row". It should work. 5. Save the Table. 6. Try to insert a row again - it will not work.
=> after saving the tablestructure, the inserted row is attached and not inserted between the rows
this is no bug, but a feature enhancement => send further to the requirements team

I'm using Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 and I can confirm this problem as reported by original poster. What information other than those from comment 2 are needed? I can provide if needed.
No news from OP: closed
This can still be reproduced on the latest trunk, reopening. Some databases don't allow new columns to be inserted anywhere, only after existing columns, eg. PostgreSQL. Some allow it, eg. MySQL. It may have to be something implemented within each database backend.
So this sounds like a driver issue instead of backend UI
