Testcase

On some odt file, writer changes the page layout when saving and reopening, after adding some text. This breaks a table row across a page. To reproduce:

1. Open file0.odt (attached) with "libreoffice file0.odt".
2. Page 2, in the blank cell on the right of "Nom de l'organisme complémentaire", add some text, e.g. just a period. At this point, the page layout hasn't changed.
3. Save the file with Ctrl-S. At this point, the page layout still hasn't changed.
4. Quit LibreOffice.
5. Reopen the saved file with "libreoffice file0.odt".

Result: The first line of the "Nom de l'organisme complémentaire" table row now appears at the end of page 1 (the end of this row still appears on page 2).

Note: This is a file that comes from Inria in the docx format. I had converted it to odt with this same LibreOffice version. The conversion was apparently fine. The bug occurs only after editing the resulting odt file, saving it and reopening it, as described above.

The file file1.odt is the file I obtain after step 3.

REPRODUCIBLE with reporter's sample document, Server Installation of Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)  Build ID ae36ee4f3aa544e53e2edad93d6d79160b27bc9d
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win | Special devUserProfile | Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE | Calc: CL

In step (2) I simply typed 2 blank. Following the instruction showed thhe complained effect.
After deletion of blank (Backspace), save, close, relaunch, reopen Nom de l'organisme complémentaire" has moved back to page 2. 

Not yet checked for possible DUPs

Comment 5 Buovjaga 2022-11-23 12:47:28 UTC 
Reproduced with the original instructions - adding two newlines was not enough.

The table is already split on two pages in older versions.
