Comment 4 for bug 646157

In Ubuntu 10.10, libreoffice-calc could not reproduce. Opened attachment via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/646157/+attachment/1655284/+files/row-height.xls && soffice -calc row-height.xls

+ Row 8 height is 0.17"

Highlighted row 8, changed background color to black, did not change the row height. Undid this, then highlighted cell A8, changed background color to black, did not change the row height.

Does this work for you?
