Could you please share a screenshot of the problem? OTOH, which theme are you using?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' once the questions have been answered

This is a link to my Google Drive to a .tar.gz archive containing five .png screenshots: : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LChDpC2aHVGYec6gMl-0X52MpghULhli

1.png shows a new document (Writer just opened), with paragraph styles displaying correctly;

2.png shows an existing saved document, with paragraph styles displaying incorrectly;

3.png shows the same existing saved document, with character styles (for example) displaying correctly. The problem, such as it is, lies only with paragraph styles (as far as I've noticed...)

What is really interesting is that if another instance of Writer is also open, with a 'new' document (and paragraph styles displaying correctly), clicking in the new window causes the paragraph styles in the first window (with the existing document open) to immediately display correctly - and clicking on the first instance of Writer (the existing saved document) causes the  second instance of Writer to immediately display paragraph styles incorrectly... as per 4.png and 5.png.

NB - I'VE JUST NOTICED THAT WRITER WORKS CORRECTLY WITH .ODT DOCUMENTS, MY PROBLEMS WERE WITH .DOCX DOCUMENTS...

I changed the bug summary to make this more clearly.

Hi Mark,
So, does it happen with any .DOCX file or just with some ?

OTOH, Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Comment 7 Mark Coetsee 2018-07-09 16:11:45 UTC
In the interim I've upgraded to the latest version of writer:

Version: 6.0.5.2
Build ID: 1:6.0.5~rc2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1
CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-ZA (en_ZA.UTF-8); Calc: CL

I have just had a look and I can confirm that there appears to be no problem with documents created with this version of writer, but this version of writer shows the same problem when opening (as I just did) a .docx file created with earlier versions of writer.

I have only ever used .odt files and ms-office 2007 - 2013 XML .docx files, so I can't express an opinion regarding other file formats.

Looks like the bug has been fixed or does not otherwise occur in respect of files created with the latest version of writer, but persists in respect of files created with earlier versions of writer.

I have accordingly changed the status of this bug (if bug it is) to unconfirmed, as requested.
