Row height inexplicably changes after various innocuous operations

I previously posted
<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Pasting-plain-text-into-Calc-changes-row-height-and-undo-doesn-t-revert-td4086328.html>
about an issue with row height, but the problem is even more basic than I
realized at the time. Pasting isn't required at all to trigger it. This is
still in a vanilla install of LibreOffice v 4.1.3.2 installed via
PortableApps.com in Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Create a new spreadsheet. Already there's a problem: row #1 has height 0.17"
with "Default value" unchecked. All other rows (presumably) have height
0.18" with "Default value" checked.

You can now perform one of a variety of innocuous operations and the row
height inexplicably changes. Examples:

* Enter a character, say "x", in cell A2 and press Enter. Row height is
unchanged. Enter the same character in cell A2 and press Enter again. Row
height is unchanged. Perform an Undo operation (reverting A2 content from
"x" to "x") -- row height changes to 0.17" with "Default value" unchecked.

* Select cell A3, and click Format > Change Case > lowercase -- row height
changes to 0.17" with "Default value" unchecked.

I'm sure there are many more examples.

Hi :slight_smile:
I don't know what is happening there. None of my rows change heights.
All start at 0.42cm and stay that way with the default font.
Admittedly i am not on WIn7 but i don't think i've had the problem in
Xp or Win7 either. Errrr, i don't think i'm on 4.1.x either

Did you try renaming your User Profile? Have you tried a different
branch of LibreOffice, say the 4.0.3?

I don't see "Default value" anywhere on my sheet. Where do you see it?

Hi Tom,

Yes, no change. It was a new, vanilla install anyway,

No. If it's possible to install that via PortableApps, maybe I'll try it for
the hell of it.

Format > Row > Height

It reminds me this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72278 and
2 others related.
The 3 of them have been fixed so it could be interesting you give a try to
one of the pre release http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
4.1.4 RC2 or 4.2.0 Beta 2
