Description: If margins and header settings are changed without closing and reopening the Page Style dialog, it is possible to enter too high of a header height value in the Page Style dialog that the program appears to accept. Actually, the program stores lower header height value. Steps to Reproduce: Using centimeters as the measurment unit here, but reproduces with other measurement units as well 1. Open new document 2. Right click on the document and select Page... 3. On the Page margins section, increase the top and bottom margin (default should be 2cm so increasing them to 3cm works) 4. Click apply (note that the margins are increased in the background) 5. Select the header tab 6. Enable the header and set the header height to 23.26cm (note that the field accepts this value) 7. Click OK to store the value and close the dialog 8. Right click on the document and select Page... 9. Compare the stored header value to the value that was entered Actual Results: Header height value is now shown as 18.46cm and does not match the original input. Expected Results: Header height value is stored as it was originally entered (and already restricted when originally entering it) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL
I confirm the behaviour, but perhaps it is the desired behaviour. Maximum header is 23,26 (with margins set to 0 cm) Maximum footer ist 5,94 (with margins set to 0 cm) But perhaps there should be some informtions to the user, if a value is not accepted Adding Design Team for further input
27,20 cm with A4 (bottom is 2cm, I can go higher when margin to bottom is lower) - shown when I enter an arbitrary high value and being effective on the page. Maybe I didn't get the point.

Created attachment 152348 [details] Screen capture illustrating the unexpected behaviour
Created attachment 152349 [details] Screen capture of expected behaviour To better illustrate the issue, I've attached two screen captures to this bug. One of them (header_height_visibly_constrained.mp4) shows normal behaviour where: 1. The margins are set higher 2. The Page Style dialog is closed with the OK button 3. The Page Style dialog is reopened 4. Header height value is set to higher value than can be accepted (23.26cm) 5. Header height value is decreased to 18.46cm as soon as the input field is deselected. The other (header_height_not_visibly_constrained.mp4) shows the unexpected behaviour where: 1. The margins are set higher. 2. The change is applied with the Apply button 3. Without closing the Page Style dialog, the header tab is selected 4. The header height is set to a higher value than can be accepted (23.26cm) 5. The header height is not decreased after the input field is deselected. 6. Change in the header height value from 23.26cm that was input to 18.46cm is only visible once the Page Style dialog is closed and reopened. Other input fields in Writer conform to the first scenario where the value is decreased immediately so the user knows that their input was not accepted
Thanks for the screencast, I think it's clear now. The header tab does not take values into account that have been entered in the other tabs. Should be fixed by setting the correct maximum for this spinbutton.

Dear Ormes Liivak, 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. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. 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. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
