Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

This bug is hard to reproduce but I have been able to do it on two different computers now. It's sort of hard to explain what is happening so I will attach an image and the actual file itself. If it is needed I will try to give steps to reproduce but I'm not sure what exactly triggers it. Everything was tested on Gusty with the latest updates.

it seems a red line is shown when content from one cell is hidden by content from another cell
I'm not sure whether this is a feature or a bug

changed my mind - definitely something wrong here (should be a small arrow in stead of a big line as you said)

I'll set the status to confirmed

I have tested on ubuntu gutsy with oOo 2.3.0 - same behavior as described above (big red line in stead of small arrow)
Have also tested on Windows XP with oOo 2.3.0 -> also a problem -> red arrow is not correctly formed, but no red line either

it is linked to the "Text overflow" functionality as the red line disappears when the Options->Calc->"Text Overflow" tick box is unchecked
