Description: After upgrade from LO v5.1.3 to v5.2.6.2 Build 20m0(Build:2) on OpenSuse 13.2, release supplied by SUSE, page headers & footers are not visible in report documents. Page headers & footers are created but they are not visible in the report document. You need to edit each report document, to set Format -> Page -> Header/Footer -> Autofit height, whereupon the headers & footers appear. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create text report for Writer in Report Builder, from simple query on built-in or other database. Put some text in report page header and/or footer. 2.Execute report. Actual Results: 1.No page header/footer shown in report document 2.Edit report document, to set Format -> Page -> Header/Footer -> Autofit height, to make page header & footer visible. Expected Results: 1.Page header/footer shown in report document without editing. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: headertest.odb attached which demonstrates this issue.

Created attachment 132622 [details] Base database which demonstrates invisible page header & footer in text reports
When I open the report in the provided ODB file with Version: 5.3.2.2 Build ID: 6cd4f1ef626f15116896b1d8e1398b56da0d0ee1 Threads CPU : 2; Version de l'OS :Mac OS X 10.12.4; UI Render : par défaut; Moteur de mise en page : nouveau; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group I see Page Header text and Page Footer text at the top and bottom of the report, so this would appear to be working normally on OSX. Perhaps the problem is Suse-package specific ? No repro
@Branestawm : you should test with a TDF nightly build, or else a parallel install with TDF packages to compare - if the problem is Suse package specific, then it needs to be reported to Suse and not here.
Thanks for your test result. I'm getting some interest on AskLO where the issue has been raised by another SuSe user. Depending how that goes, I'll report on SuSe bugzilla - and will comment here when I do.
Reported to SuSe as a distro issue today.
Newer bug 107468 from another OpenSuse user may be a duplicate of this one.

I can confirm that the problem exists and is the same as the bug I submitted. However, I amd using LO 5.2.5.1 (not v5.3.x) and I am running on OpenSuse LEAP 42.2--not v13.2. Editing the report (after it displays) using the method supplied above, does display the header. There is currently no way to fix this with the LO Base reportwriter as it does not have the same formatting options, and you can't save the report back to the ODB file. :-(
I just tested in LO Base 5.3.2.2 on LEAP 42.2. The page header problem still exists. In fact, it also moved the report footer to the next page--even though there are not enough lines to warrant placing the report footer on the next page (another regression?)
Could not reproduce with LO 5.3.2.2 on OpenSUSE 42.1 64bit rpm Linux. Opening the report of the attachment shows header and footer. Creating a new report shows header and footer. You use the version supported by OpenSUSE (Build-Number shows this)? I only use the versions of libreoffice.org, LO 5.3.2.2 has Build-ID: 6cd4f1ef626f15116896b1d8e1398b56da0d0ee1 Must be a special bug of the version supported by OpenSUSE.
I forgot: There is no possibility to set Format -> Page -> Header/Footer -> Autofit height in the versions supported from libreoffice.org.
Ok, you SUSE users can verify this is SUSE-only by installing TDF releases in parallel: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux Then we can close this as NOTOURBUG and you can take it to SUSE.
As advised, I've now replaced the OpenSuse distro edition of LO with same version downloaded directly from TDF - this has resolved the issue for me. This has also thrown up a different bug in Report Builder that I will report elsewhere. Evidently it's important to realise that distro editions can be significantly different from master editions, eg install and config subfolders are different for each edition. OpenSuse users doing the same may want to restore the soft link to 'soffice' (ln -s /usr/bin/soffice /opt/libreoffice5.2/program/soffice) Thanks to all for your interest & help.
