Description mattia.b89 2016-09-12 17:54:04 UTC
If I change "spacing" in footer, the first page will be not updated, while other pages update (visually) accordingly to my edit.

the only way (I've found) to solve the issue is a close-reopen of the writer application

I'm on Arch Linux, x86_64, libreoffice-fresh-5.2.1-2

How to reproduce it:

1- open writer
2- fill two pages with empty new lines
3- add footer
4- change the spacing value to 5,50 cm (a big value in order to easily see if view updates itself)
5- you can notice that first page doesn't change will the second do it

Filling in some presumed details:

(In reply to mattia.b89 from comment #0)
> 1- open writer
> 2- fill two pages with empty new lines
> 3- add footer

3b- right-click and choose Paragraph

> 4- change the spacing value to 5,50 cm (a big value in order to easily see
> if view updates itself)

Meaning: spacing above para.

> 5- you can notice that first page doesn't change will the second do it

I don't see the problem.
Do you still see it with 5.2.2?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

the right instructions to the issue are:

1- open writer
2- fill two pages with empty new lines
3- add footer
3b- open footer's properties (Format footer)
4- change the Spacing value from 0,50cm to 5,50 cm (a big value in order to easily see if view updates itself)
5- you can notice that first page doesn't change will the second do it

sorry for this setback!

anyhow, the problem has gone... FIXED with 5.2.2
