Bug ID: 166521
Summary: Some lines may disappear on an exported PDF because
italic, or saving issue
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Hello,
I use LibreOffice Calc to create some bills, using a specific file I use as
model. I joined it as attachment, minus all personal informations of course.
So... When I export it as PDF without doing anything, the line 17 and 18 will
not be present in the PDF, whatever the amount of retries.
Strangerly, if I fill it with real informations, SOMETIMES LibreOffice will
export correctly those two lines, sometimes I won't see them. It seems it
depends of the bill and I failed to find the specific factor so far.
It is not a matter of the file itself because I recreated it from scratch.
It is not a matter of the size of the text of those two lines. Whatever it is 7
or 40, they won't be in the exported PDF if LibreOffice decided that they won't
be in.
It is not a matter of the size of the lines.
I removed the logo.
I reset the profile.
Etc.
Still, I found an interesting behaviour, or in a way a workaround : if you load
the file I joined and try to export it as PDF, you won't see the line 17/18 in
the PDF, OK BUT... If you disable the italic status of said lines AND you save
the modifications (important) AND THEN export as PDF, then it will export them,
just without the italic. AND AFTER THAT while remaining in the same session of
LibreOffice (important), if you set them again as italic AND you export as PDF
BEFORE SAVING THE FILE (VERY important, DON'T save the file BEFORE exporting at
this point, unlike before), then said lines will be in the resulted PDF, with
the italic status. You can export again an again, it will work. You can save
after that.
But of course, once you exit and reopen the file to try to export, said lines
will be missed again.
So, the workaround is to open, edit as I wish, then disable italic on the lines
17/18 so I save first and export as PDF second, then I reenable italic on them
and export as PDF BEFORE saving, all of it while being in the same session.
That is... the weirdest bug I saw since a while. Maybe I should make a video.
Cordialy,
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the joined file
2. Export as PDF
Actual Results:
The lines 17 and 18 of said file won't be present in the exported PDF.
Expected Results:
They should be there every time I export without giving me a headache :)
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes
