Document template with macros

Hello LibreOffice,

I had to submit a year end declaration the template for which you can see attached here. It is written with MS Word and is pretty complicated. When filling it in with LibreOffice Writer I noticed a number of issues:
1. When selecting a check-box it doesn't always get selected and the selection mark occurs only after the document is saved or a follow-up check-box is selected.
2. When adding some content, saving and closing the document and then opening it again much of the formatting is changed and the document is spanned over more pages than it was initially before editing it. The font size for some text parts is changed as well.
3. After the table content is over there is text with instructions - the caption remains on one page and the text itself is shifted on a new one. When trying to bring the text close to the caption it loses its two-column formatting.
The document is written in Cyrillic alphabet in Bulgarian language, which you can ignore and just fill in some content in some of the table cells and select some check-boxes for testing purposes.
The OS I have experienced the above issues under is Linux Mint 17.3 - if that is of importance for you.

Best regards,
Lyubomir

Hello,
tested with Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 5a8cd51780eaf362536284ee8bd388916a172690
CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Windows 6.1; UI Render: default; 
TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2016-03-24_06:51:09
and Linux, LO 5.0.5.2

1)  works for me.
2)  can not confirm. Added random content. Page count is the same in windows 5.2 version. In Linux is page count one page less..

Please, could you test with dev version?

Hello LibreOffice,

Yes, sorry, I had forgotten to inform you. With the development version it worked for me too. Therefore I close this bug. Thank you for providing LibreOffice.

Kind regards,
Lyubomir
