Editing text is misaligned in particular xlsx

Post by pdedecker »

I have an xlsx where editing a cell results in the text editor being misaligned with respect to the cell location (it's too far down). I'll send the file to forum[at]softmaker.com.

Thank you for your detailed report. The issue occurs because the row height is insufficient for your current font and size.

To resolve this, please do one of the following:
  • Increase the row height to 0.2 inches (0.51 cm).
OR
  • Decrease the font size to 9.

Perhaps that indeed fixes it. But the current behavior is still a bug. Here is the exact same scenario on three different programs, top to bottom: LibreOffice, Excel, Softmaker. In all cases I'm editing row 25.

Note how Softmaker makes it appear as if I am editing row 26, both giving an incorrect indication and also obscuring whatever is written in row 26, which is annoying.

This appears to be a different issue, as the row height seems to be configured correctly. To help us diagnose the problem, could you please share the file with us?

It's the exact same file that I already sent together with the first post in this topic. I'm using a Macbook Air.

I was able to reproduce the issue when inputting bottom aligned text and reported it to our developers.
