Created attachment 148158 [details] rtfSections.odt: bibisect43all suggests extra empty section inherited from OOo If the document starts with a defined section, then on export to RTF, it adds a continuous section break before the first paragraph. Both Word and LO load this as a blank paragraph at the top of the document. Steps to reproduce: -create a two paragraph document -select the first paragraph and "insert section" -save and RTF and reload. This is different from bug 122456 which describes extra sections added at the bottom. Interestingly, this time the extra section is not cumulative. Even though the new section at the start of the document is a "true" section, it doesn't force the creation of another section on each round-trip.
I confirm the bug, saving the attachment as RTF and reopening it Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ffa5b8a82eab18041bbee4d6914892b82c7801d3 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-12-19_03:24:54 Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
