I don't see a difference here.
Also what is this button do, looks like you're using linux (and I'm on my work system atm).
It's a highlighter

Must be an older version of LibreOffice. I believe @IRJ is using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
A little older but not ancient..

You're pretty far behind

This this latest version in Ubuntu Software Center. Default repository
-
@IRJ Yeah because LTS means they are only going to offer you security patches (if that).
-
Install the current version from the libreoffice website rather than the Ubuntu App Center.

Yep, but like I said this isn't an ancient version. This is not the type of change that they make in a security update.

I may try from this repository. I want to ensure I am able to updated automatically.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa -

Which again, you didn't answer my question. You just showed an example of you using the Format Painter function instead of actually reading the question.
Centered looks like this
Not centered looks like this

That isn't my issue. Expand the size of the columns to match my example.

No difference.

Again not my issue

Centered centers on the cell, so what the hell are you asking?
-
Before I click to Column D
When I click on column D it moves the view to the center of column D

Are you sure you're using the correct verbiage to describe the issue? I don't think you are because what I've just listed in detail is centering.

Where in the OP does it say the view changes?! FFS
-
lol, Excel does this same exact thing. In the first pic you can see 3 columns left of column D. When he starts to edit Column D, it automatically shifts the window so you can only see 2 columns to the left. It's super annoying.

Well I did give an example WHERE my text isn't centered. So maybe that was a clue
and I never said Font or field data is centering. I never specified anything, but gave an example -
Do you have Column A locked so when you scroll everything else moves and A is hidden? Or is that filter on A only to find numbers etc?
