            Bug ID: 133611
           Summary: Data loss in tables when opening odt file (libreoffice
                    writer document)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I get heavy data loss in my tables when I am loading the file I have saved
yesterday.

The tables I use are using the default table styles, but I do add some styling.

There is a not completely random data loss, where text is exchanged with "0" if
I save the document and reload it later.

This is a heavy problem, because the tables in this document are actually for a
business analysis for the software that I am writing / proposing so data loss
makes me need to use some other tool for the moment while I finish this.



Steps to Reproduce:
It always happen in case of my document:

1. Just write the text in the fields of the document
2. Then save it and exit the app (can be seperately)
3. Then load the file and see some of the fields in tables are changed to "0"

I tried to 

Actual Results:
Some fields in tables are showing "0" instead of what I wrote in there.

All other things seems to be unaffected and show good data.

Also I saw that outlook.com (where I send these through) still see the original
data so I think they are saved into the file if it can still see it in the
online preview window.

Expected Results:
I expect the data to be there as I wrote it, instead of data loss on loading
:-)


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I tried this on two seperate machines. Both of them run Linux and has:

LibreOffice 6.4.3.2 40(Build:2)

So this happens always for my document, but not always generally. I also tried
to remove all other parts of the document and just keep the table - but then I
can save it for some reason...

Also If I continue writing the document I saw that not always the same fields
get erased...

I think something nasty is going on, but surely with tables.

As you see that some other apps still see the "lost data" I expect this to be a
loading issue and not a saving issue, but I understand these are complicated
files so it might a saving issue that some other applications do not really get
crippled by - just I find it less likely.

I cannot share this document right now, because it has confidential data like
company tax numbers and such, but it is always reproducible on my machine.

(I answered yes to "did you try resetting user profile, because one of the
machines I try this on is practically a completely new installation - but I did
not directly try that. I think it is the same hopefully)
