            Bug ID: 144121
           Summary: Table can be moved to new page, but not back
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bugs_documentfoundation_org.5.kuru at xoxy.net

Description:
If a table is inserted into a Writer file and moved to the next page with Ctrl
+ Enter, the table is moved to the next page. If you want to move it back, the
table stays where it is

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write some text in a new writer file
2. Add a new table below the text
3. Move the cursor to the end of the text and move the table to a new page with
Ctrl + Enter
4. Delete the empty line that is now above the table on the second page
5. Try to move the table back to the first page by trying to erase the
'newpage' line or by cut & paste (Ctrl+X & Ctrl+V) the table to the first page 

Actual Results:
The table will not move to the original page by just deleting the newpage line
or by cut & paste the table

Expected Results:
The table should act like any other paragraph and should be movable with
deleting the newpage line or cut & paste


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
There is a way around this, but I think it is incredibly bad.

Assuming you are at step 5.: Place the cursor in the first cell of the table
and add a new line (If there is text in the first cell, place it in front of
the text). This will add a line above the table and the table can be moved
again.

If it is meant to be that way to somehow 'fix' a table in place it is
incredibly bad in my opinion. I expected the table to behave like a regular
paragraph or image that behaves like text. I discovered this workaround just by
coincidence and it's everything but obvious.

--------------------------------------------------

Version: 7.1.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a529a4fab45b75fefc5b6226684193eb000654f6
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-AT (de_AT); UI: de-DE
Calc: CL

I know I should test it with the latest version, but right now I am unable to
download the 7.2 version from the LO download page (and I have no idea why).
Once I got the new version I will test the bug again (but I assume that it will
still be there)
