[Bug 668079] Re: [Upstream] Rotated text is invisible unless Vertical Alignment=BOTTOM

 

jimav, I am closing the bug task for LibreOffice because it has been
fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU
Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

  Natty:
  apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc

  3) What is expected is when one performs at the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/668079/+attachment/1714992/+files/OObug_RotatedText.ods
  && localc -nologo OObug_RotatedText.ods

  and the cells with "shrink to fit", rotated 90 degrees, are visible as
  they are in Microsoft Office Excel Viewer.

  4) What happened instead is the cells show no content unless Vertical
  Alignment is set to 'Bottom".

  WORKAROUND: Use Gnumeric.

  lsb_release -rd
