Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9570
User is allowed to insert huge amount of table rows in a frame, even if those rows already exceed the frame border in one page.

Reduplication step: 1.Create a new text document in OO/643C Writer. 2.Insert Frame. In the Frame dialog, set border line style to "none". 3.Enlarge the frame by adjusting the frame border. 4.Copy and paste an existing table to the frame. 5.Click the "Insert Row" icon on the tool bar. 6.Keep on clicking, you will find that you can insert huge amount of rows even if those rows already exceed the frame border and page border. I reproduced the issue on Win2000/OO643C.

SBA: It's an enhancement (to make frames break to the next page) => Changed issue type. Note_1: Tables do break to the next page, so a borderless frame around a large table (be it large in the first place or enlarged later) makes not much sense. Note_2: If your main problem is the fact that the user is allowed to add rows that do not fit, please note that changing a paragraph or character style to a "big" font size produces the same problem. ALL user errors can only be prevented if the Office tries to be smarter than the user, regarding (and "re-thinking") EVERY click the user does. This would cost performance, not to mention the development effort. So there will always be room for user errors.
Reassigned to Bettina.
