Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug I presume that "mangled footer" means that the row of text underneath the footer's table is lost. It always looks good to me in Word 2003. I see the text under the footer table after roundtripping with LO 6.0 and 6.2 and 7.0. However in LO the footer text is missing on the first page. Page 2 looks fine now in 7.0 master, as well as in 6.4.2.2. However, I couldn't see when that happened, because it looks like this in bibisect-linux-64-7.0 oldest, but no text at all in bibisect-linux-64-6.4 master. (Actually, it somehow seems related to the user profile, because if I delete the user profile and open the file, I see the text on page 2 - even in bibisect-linux-64-6.0. Too weird.)

(In reply to Justin L from comment #5) > Starting in LO 7.5, the page break is lost on export This regression is fixed. So back to the original issue: layout for some reason hides the normal text paragraph on initial layout. This is resolved by something like a print-preview or switching to web-view mode and back. *** Bug 135596 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 141232 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Adding DOCX filter keyword given that the two duplicates bug 135596 and bug 141232 are about DOCX. |
Created attachment 129677 [details] Sample document mangled-footer.odt Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached mangled-footer.odt 2. File -> "Save a Copy" as mangled-footer.doc 3. Open mangled-footer.doc (either in MS Word or LibreOffice Writer) and see that the footer on the second page is mangled The key elements in this sample document are: * The paragraph at the top of the second page has a paragraph style to insert a page break before the paragraph, changing the page style to "Default Style" (which is the same page style it was on already). If this is edited to be a simple page break without the page style change, then the problem does not occur. * The footer contains a table followed by a paragraph. If the table is removed from the footer then the problem does not occur.
