bypass the problem with even smaller font showing how much space is required and wasted by padding
screenshot showing how calc requires me to change the font from Arial to Arial Narrow and down to 5pt ... the 6 digit number is finally shown again, but look at all the wasted padding space ... in the older days that would hold a 7 digit or 8 digit number
We're guessing here as we would need your document (anonymize by changing values to "8" s). But IIUC the autoformatting to Scientific notation for "General" numbers has not changed. Font's change from system to build to system build--Arial on OSX is not Arial on Windows. Also LibreOffices font handling has been changed several times in the interim. There also have been changes to calc for calculating cell height and cell width, as well as adjustments to how "Use printer metrics for text formatting" behaves. So it would be abnormal to not have some layout changes in the ensuing builds and versions of your document. So please do this. Make a copy of the document. Then open the copy and select the active cells on the sheet, set your font size back to 6pt--and in the Column label area select one of the grid lines. Open context menu and apply "Optimal Width". Are the resulting cell widths more acceptable--and does it fit as you'd prefer? Also, does selecting another font format things better than Arial? Perhaps a Monospaced font like Consolas, Liberation Mono, or DejaVu Sans Mono? Dear icerabbit, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months.
