Description: Page widths equal to or greater than 48 inches cause text wrapping in LibreOffice Writer to break. The issue reliably seems to happen somewhere between 47" and 48". Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Writer document with a few paragraphs of text 2. Goto Format > Page > Paper Format 3. Increase the page width to 46 inches and apply 4. what 5. why 6. this is terrible Actual Results: All text on the page seems to get wrapped by margins that aren't there. The resulting layout is absurdly narrow and there is no apparent fix other than to work at a width of 47" instead of 48" Expected Results: The user should at least hit a hard limit on page width before this happens! I don't think 48 inches is an edge case, though. I'm designing a scientific poster! Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info:
PS This bug is still current in the 6.3 development version
PPS: Minor typo; you gotta set it to 48 inches to break formatting, not 46. 46" works just fine!

Dear Sam Brubaker, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b.

Same with me: Version: 7.1.7.2 (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c6a4e3954236145e2acb0b65f68614365aeee33f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-MX (es_MX); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Related bug report: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67320
Page width (with margins set to 0) its OK until 115.59 cm (~45.27 in). Page width (with margins set to 100) its OK until 315.59 cm (115.59+100+100). If margins are asymmetric (i.e., 160+40) things break appart. When width is set to 515.39, and margins to 200, margins revert to 84.40 cm, and things break appart. Page height… Font size and name… Zoom level… …does not affect. Frames seem affected by a similar issue.
