Hello!

On 2017-04-03 I finished creating an ODT with LO which I can't remember the version.

Back then I created a PDF of it, so that you can see that at least in the last two pages, the formatting became damaged (not fitting the pages).

I don't think, if we should call this a bug or a regression. The change happened with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/4622689fad7ddff72cd08da9611ccfacdb0aa7bd%5E!/

tdf#96420: Re-introduce SimpleWinLayout

It might be that the older rendering was "wrong".

I can confirm this, the rendering the document was tuned to was introduced with the following commit for 5.1:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=4667db065d34193d99bce82f7e8f3b20a03ecade
author		Tor Lillqvist <tml@collabora.com>	2015-08-12 08:18:50 +0300
committer	Tor Lillqvist <tml@collabora.com>	2015-08-12 09:14:20 +0300

"Drop SimpleWinLayout"

Then something similar happened in 5.3, which again was fixed later in 5.4 by the following commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ded07624096183ed310187f29d4692bb39b7d24a

committer	Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@collabora.co.uk>	2017-03-14 14:50:12 +0000

"tdf#105454: Stop ignoring font kerning setting"

Note that there were differences in prior versions as well.

Let's close.
Comment 5 Marco A.G.Pinto 2019-06-05 13:39:47 UTC
Seems to work now in 6.2.4.
