Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Binary package hint: LibreOffice
1)
LibreOffice:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04
OOo:
Hardy
2)
LibreOffice:
apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2 0
500 http://
/var/lib/
OOo:
OpenOffice Writer 2.4.1
3) What is expected to happen is when one performs at the Terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https:/
one may delete page 2 by going to the end of the page 1 table and clicking Delete on the keyboard.
4) What happens instead is that the table insists on being followed by a new line. This means that you cannot get rid of new line characters between tables. It also means that you cannot get rid of a new line character when it follows a table at the end of a document. This latter case can mean that you need to reduce the size of the bottom page margin just to make sure then new line character doesn't get printed on a new page. What ought to happen is that there should be no new line of text after a table unless you actually want one.
WORKAROUND: Secondary click the table -> primary click Table... -> click the Borders tab -> in the Spacing to contents area, the four fields are 0.04" by default with the Synchronize checkbox checked. Change all 4 fields to 0 -> click the OK button. Change the font size of the space to 1 and notice the second page disappears with the cursor immediately below the table on the first page.
WORKAROUND: Go to end of paragraph in right bottom cell -> Ctrl+Shift+Delete.

I have found this true. To add to this, if you create more than one table, and try to move the tables as close together as possible, the new line moves with the table, and will not allow the two tables to be placed any closer together than the line height as determined by the font size.
