Description edoloughlin 2005-07-13 12:22:51 UTC 
See the attached doc and wmv file for a description.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a default table (with header row) and insert empty lines before it so it
overflows onto a new page.
Type some text in a cell so the cell spans two pages.
Begin a drag-select at the bottom of the cell and move upwards to the top of the
cell.
When the cursor moves on to the (repeated) header row, the selection is lost.
When the cursor moves on to the part of the cell on the previous page, the
selection is reset. The selection in the bottom part of the cell is 'forgotten'.

MRU->FME: I was only able to reproduce the problem on systems running a screen
resolution of  1280x1024 pixel. On my notebook with 1024x768 this problem didn't
occur.
Select the text from the end of the mentioned cell to the beginning and see the
selection inverting.

Confirmed - Windows XP SP2, OOo 2.0.1
Confirmed - Linux (Ubuntu Breezy, kernel 2.6.12), OOo 2.0
Confirmed - Linux (Red Hat 7.3, kernel 2.4.31), OOo 2.0

Steps to replicate (as mentioned above):

1. Click on "File" menu, choose "New", then select "Text Document".
2. Insert empty lines by pressing "Enter" on the keyboard until reaching the
last line of the page.
3. Press "Backspace" on the keyboard 2 times, so that the cursor would be
position  on the 3rd last line.
4. From the "Insert" menu, choose "Table".
5. Increment both, the number of "Columns" and "Rows" from 2 to 5, and press "ok".
6. On (column 1, row 2) start typing text until the cell has text on the two pages.
7. Now drag and select from the text line in page 2 and move up to text line in
page 1.

The selection of the text in the second page loses focus.

Additional notes: I selected for the size of the table 5 rows and 5 columns, but
 it created 6 rows and 5 columns (1 more extra row). Furthermore if I insert
text on (column 1, row 1), the same text gets typed in another cell on the
second page.
