Different vertical alignment with multirow

Question

I have longtable with multirow:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{makecell,array}

\begin{document}

{
\begin{longtable}[H]{|p{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|m{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|p{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|}
\caption{Title}
\tabularnewline\hline
\multirow{4}{\linewidth}{ \centering \textbf{Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text}} & Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{2-3}
 & Long long   long long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{2-3}
 & Long long  long long long  long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{2-3}
 & Long long  long long  long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{1-3}
\end{longtable}
}

\end{document}

I need use columns with specific width \dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep Here I use a simple example, but in general, the column can be larger and the text is not fixed length.

I want the last column has vertical alignment. I have problem in first column.

I want to get one of the images: enter image description here

How can I fix it?

Update. I need use mulrirow and longtable. The figure is the full version of the table in which the problem occurred. enter image description here

in your p column width you have allowed for \tabcolsep but not for arrayrulewidth — David Carlisle, Jun 10 '14 at 08:33
You can compare your problem with my thread http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/183235/vertically-aligned-table-in-plaintex-latex-context-etc. — wipet, Jun 10 '14 at 10:29
@wipet Similar problem, but there are not presented solutions for Latex — Harrix, Jun 10 '14 at 17:14

It is possible without using multirow. In a lot of cases you can use a nested tabular. ltablex is a combination of longtable and tabularx:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{ltablex}
\renewcommand\tabularxcolumn[1]{m{#1}}   
\begin{document}

\noindent
\rule{\linewidth}{2pt}

\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|@{}m{0.66\linewidth}|}
\caption{Title}
\tabularnewline\hline
\bfseries Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text  
  &
   \begin{tabular}{m{\dimexpr0.5\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|m{\dimexpr0.5\linewidth-\tabcolsep}}  
      Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text
     & 11111  \\\hline
      Long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text
     & 11111  \\\hline 
      Long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text
     & 11111
   \end{tabular}  \\\hline
\end{tabularx}

\end{document}

It is a solution what I'am waiting for in my thread, isn't it? My thread is called "Vertically aligned table in plainTeX, LaTeX, Context, etc". LaTeX solution is missing here. Would you post your ideas to this thread too? — wipet, Jun 10 '14 at 08:23
This method works in the simple case. But I have a lot in the general table mulrirows. — Harrix, Jun 10 '14 at 08:23
I never use multirow. I have a lot of tables and it is always possible to use nested tabulars instead — , Jun 10 '14 at 09:07

You can use the second optional argument (called fixup) of \multirow.

\multirow{4}{\linewidth}[2.5em]{\centering...

2.5em is an empirical value which you should adjust manually.

A negative value will lower the entry.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{makecell,array}

\begin{document}

{
\begin{longtable}{|p{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|m{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|p{\dimexpr0.33\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|}
\caption{Title}
\tabularnewline\hline
\multirow{4}{\linewidth}[-5.8em]{\centering \textbf{Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text}} & Long long  long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \\[-1.85em] \cline{2-3}     %% adjust -5.8em and 1.85em suitably
 & Long long   long long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{2-3}
 & Long long  long long long  long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{2-3}
 & Long long  long long  long long long long long long long long long long long text & 1111 \tabularnewline \cline{1-3}
\end{longtable}
}

\end{document}

Good solution, but not automatic( – Harrix Jun 10 '14 at 17:13 — Harrix, Jun 10 '14 at 17:13
