Bugged out file originating from MSO

Somehow LibO displays "manual column breaks visible" in the headers. Don't know, if it's related to the layout/flow being broken.

Compare to this.
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2015-04-18 18:59:32 UTC
Interesting: 3.3 and 3.5 don't look as bad. 3.3.0 has the right page count (7) and 3.5.0 has one extra page. With 3.6.7, the page count has exploded to 17.

I'm adding a bibisect request and hope the layout lengthening issue can be spotted at least.

I can confirm this, LO adds "manual column breaks" on top of page 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12.

Bug 63662 deals with the text "manual column break" being displayed. I just verified that the bibisect result in comment 11 of that bug report is also valid for the document attached here.


When opening the document in the respective LibreOffice version, the document still has only 7 pages, so the fact that the amount of pages increases when opening the document in LibreOffice  is another issue.

So I remove that from the summary (since 63662 handles it)

Comment 8 Justin L 2016-06-25 17:32:34 UTC
I believe the first bad commit will be author	Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@suse.cz>	2012-05-15 06:56:38 (GMT)  commit 50cb1667020494906afaacb68d4163d1eda527cf 
fdo#49940 dmapper: handle m_bTitlePage when m_nBreakType is zero

The problem in buggy2.docx is that headers are redefined many times. In word, it appears as if headers are a section property while in LO they are a page style property.  Thus, in LO, a new style is created for each section that has a different header (and thus continuous breaks are converted into page breaks).

This also causes the document to round-trip terribly - since all continuous breaks have been removed, the column breaks start affecting the wrong places.

tdf92724_continuousBreaksComplex2.pdf: printout for additional unit test

likely someone will want to revert these changes as causing a regression in other documents - something unavoidable.  Adding tests to ensure that their solution addresses various complex cases.

Can you please explain which "these changes"?
Comment 19 Justin L 2016-09-28 11:00:23 UTC
"these changes" means not treating every header/footer definition as an applied page style (aka page break).  This results in data loss - unused h/f are currently lost.
(actually, in this complexBreaks2.docx, even the USED page style on the last page is lost in round-tripping, so there is still lots of work to be done on docx section breaks).

firstInheritTest.docx: continuous breaks are evil

A carefully crafted document can look great on older version of LO and terrible in the current one. Continuous breaks need to be replaced with PageBreaks in order to be even remotely compatible.
