[3.2] OOo 3.0.1 Writer: Table gets lost

[Broco]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I had a .doc document in writer, which is used for short reports.
The Information is structured in a table.
Not the problem:
After writing into the table it sometimes (can't tell why) the table alters and has no more space to the right corner of the paper. Which means while printing there will be a part cut off.
So I thought it would be a good idea to alter the table to 95% width and position "centre" (I have a German version).
After this I saved the document - no problem everything looked fine, table is still there, well formatted.
But today I felt like Thor himself threw that hammer at me:
After opening the document again the table inside was gone the headline (not in table) was still there.
Work of 5 hours gone, my right hand is bleeding, my keyboard is destroyed.
Is there a way to get those tables back?

Do you have an older copy of the file?

One of the documents attached.
This is the working one.
To reproduce the bug try to format the table with position "center" and 95% of width.
Then save, close it and reopen.

I think this bug will be fixed in OOo 3.2 as the table shows up properly as far as I can tell, I can't even see the table in OOo 3.1.0 at all.

Broco, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Writer. Does this work for you? If using Lucid or Maverick feel free to perform via the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer

lsb_release -rd

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Sorry for posting this late.
After OOo 3.3 was released, I haven't experienced this bug.
Doesn't affect LibreOffice (which I use now in Ubuntu 11.04) either.
