            Bug ID: 135209
           Summary: [TABLE] Two columns of a table containing only zeros
                    after saving, closing and re-opening - Zotero involved
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: documentfoundation at konzertheld.de

Description:
Hello everyone.

I encountered the following and would like to seek assistance in analysis:

I did some work in a LibreOffice Writer 6.4.5.2 document, including a table.
The table had some text and two references inserted by Zotero 5.0.88 from the
Writer addon. I had the document open all day, saved it every now and then and
at the end of the day I closed it. When I re-opened it the next day, I found
the table containing a lot of zeros instead of my text. Now when I replace one
of the zeros with text, save and re-open, the text is gone again and replaced
again with a zero.

It is interesting that the first column is completely intact, the second column
has two rows intact, one with citation and one without, one of the zeros in the
broken rows in the second column is a reference to the other citation, and the
third (last) column has only zeros. The rest of the document is okay.

I also noted that my formatting in the table (some rows had strike-through) got
lost every time I inserted a citation. That's why I also reported this problem
in the Zotero forums. However, the error is now reproducible even with Zotero
closed and when not using any Zotero functionality (except leaving the existing
citations where they are), so I would like to investigate if this is Writer
related. I also have hints that a similar problem exists when Zotero is not
used from a fresh document.

Where should I start here? I can provide the document, the error is
reproducible, what is the preferred way to provide files?

I also began reproducing the problem with new documents. See "Steps to
Reproduce" for what I found. It seems to be related to the layout.

I used the "flat" format (fodt). I used the "academic" layout for the table.

I am using Manjaro Linux with Gnome.

Please help me find the problem.

Christian

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new document. 
2. Create 3 column 6 row table without headings in academic layout.
3. Fill the table with random nonsense.
4. Save as fodt under any filename.
5. Close.
6. Re-open.

Actual Results:
The field in the last column, last row, is now a zero.

Expected Results:
The document should be the same as when I closed it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
When using the default table layout, nothing is replaced.
