Description Rob V 2012-06-26 12:14:29 UTC
Problem description: When setting up labels in LibreOffice, the "horizontal pitch" parameter seems to be ignored, setting itself equal to the width of the label. The result is that text gradually creeps off the left-hand side of each label when printed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click File > New > Labels
2. Select a label format where the horizontal pitch is not equal to the label width (for example, Avery A4, L7651 Mini Address)
3. Click New Document

Current behavior: There is no space between the columns of labels, and as a result there is a larger-than-specified margin down the right hand side of the page. When printed, this leads to label text moving off the left hand side of labels.

Expected behavior: Thin columns of blank space between the columns of labels, representing the physical labels and the spacing between them.

Platform (if different from the browser): Kubuntu 11.10 with LibreOffice downloaded from the LibreOffice website (NOT the Ubuntu packages).

I can confirm this also happens on Ubuntu 12.04 with Libre Office 3.5.4.2

I believe the problem also includes vertical pitch and/or width and height.  My attempts to correct for the error by modifying an Avery J8160 template values failed.
