Example file from Word

Attached document contains a table followed by a paragraph with a table and a paragraph of text, both in the header and the footer.
When opened in Writer the headers content opens correctly, but the footers content is missing the paragraph.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached document

Actual results:
Footer is missing the paragraph after the table.

Expected results:
Footer contains the paragraph after the table.

LibreOffice details:
Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bdbb5d0389642c0d445b5779fe2a18fda3e4a4d4
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: hu-HU
Calc: CL

Also happens way back to 3.6.0, when the table in the footer first showed up, but the paragraph after it disappeared.
In 3.5 the table was not imported, only a few empty paragraphs in place of its cells, but the consecutive paragraph was there.

This is the same document as in bug #141232 but without the field in the consecutive paragraph.

Dear NISZ LibreOffice Team,

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
