Sample writer file to show rendering display issue LO 5.2.x vs LO 5.3.x

Opening the attached document in 5.2.x branch shows the document fine with two blocks named "Iteration" mostly on the first page.

The same document opened in 5.3.x shows just the first table on the "1. Iteration" block. The document display can be fixed by choosing "View -> Web preview" and then changing back to "View -> Normal".
This is not reliably putting the document into the correct state or fixes the document display for later editing though.

It appears to be a rendering issue between the different LO versions. Wondering what is causing the issue within the document so we could work around it.

tdf#91083 - .doc: emulate table keep-with-next paragraph
connect table with the following paragraph.  Move forward to a new page
together with the following paragraph if necessary.

Most of the added code allows the table to split if
all of the kept items do not fit on one page - allowing
the emulated table to match the layout of kept tables.

The only difference with .doc occurs when the table itself is larger
than one page.  In that case it ALWAYS starts a new page.  Although
it does not match .odt, it DOES match how MSWord handles that .doc.

With LO 5.1.6 it's 4 pages file with 1. Iteration and 2. Iteration on the 1st page.
With LO 5.2.0 and 5.3.7 it's 5 pages file with 1. Iteration Tab1 Z1.1 on the 1st page and Tab2 Z1.1 and on on the 2nd.
With LO 5.4.3a and 6.0 beta 2 it's 6 pages file.
With master 6.1+ it's 8 pages file.
While it's true that View Web/Normal reflows something, not all is fixed.

The primary style (Text Default Fett) has the rather unusual setting of "Text Flow" having "Keep with next Paragraph" enabled. Disabling that will provide the layout flow that you want - at least for the sample document provided. Keep with next is appropriate for titles/headings (so that they stick with the following content).

how it looks wih LO 5.1.6 - 4 pages

What Justin wrote explains "1. Iteration and 2. Iteration on the 1st page". 
I'm not sure whether it's a bug then. It used to preview better. 

Even with that we still have 6 pages.
There are 2 other issues why we don't have 4 pages like in 5.1.6.
Like why pages 4,5,6 are not on a single page. 
Looks like a different issue.
Comment 7 Justin L 2018-07-18 19:25:10 UTC
Fixed in 6.2 and requesting a backport to 6.1.
I changed the emulation so that it is not triggered by inherited (aka styles) properties.

Sample text compared

I confirm 6 pages and "1. Iteration and 2. Iteration on the 1st page" issue resolved with libo-master~2018-07-19_05.23.09_LibreOfficeDev_6.2.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.

What remains is "Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen" table issue that was 1 page until 5.4.x and now has empty pages before and after. 
Looks like some reflow issue from 5.4.2 or 5.4.3. Not sure why and if there's already bug for that.

I wouldn't worry too much about that.  When everything in the document wants to be connected to the last paragraph, that is going to cause interesting problems. Maybe if some expert in layout wants a challenge, they can play with it.
Comment 10 Timur 2018-07-19 11:17:50 UTC
Found it, automatic hyphenation not working because I didn't have German dict. installed in LO master. When I installed it, all is fine, 4 pages. 
Sorry for a false alarm and thank you.
