--- Comment #24 from Tom <blackcatred at gmail.com> ---
Following up on my previous comment #23, just edited a table in a an old
document that had a custom Table Style applied - after adding several new rows,
saving and re-opening the document, all new as well as previous rows were
replaced with '0'.

I thought I will give it a go and see if anything has improved in the daily
version (LibreOfficeDev-7.2.0.0.alpha0_2021-02-04-x86_64.AppImage),
unfortunately the result is exactly the same - data loss in tables.

I am attaching 4 files that capture the results using the steps in comment #23:

Steps 1-4: LO720-Table_test_bug_131025_Result1.odt
Steps 5-6: LO720-Table_test_bug_131025_Result2.odt
Steps 7-8: LO720-Table_test_bug_131025_Result3.odt
Steps 9-10: LO720-Table_test_bug_131025_Result4.odt

If anyone would like to repeat the test, I suppose one could start with the
first file (LO720-Table_test_bug_131025_Result1.odt) and then use it to execute
the remaining steps 5..10.

Hope this helps.

In my opinion, this bug should be *critical* since the Writer is silently
modifying data (text content) entered by the user and there is no other way to
find out about it than eyeballing each single table in a document every time
the document is saved, and even then it's too late as the data has already been
lost (not just those cells that have been recently edited, but potentially also
other cells that previously saved OK).
