Description Drew Heiderscheidt 2021-04-01 16:28:05 UTC
Description:
I have noticed that when editing .docx files in LibreOffice Writer after using hanging indents. Basically, everything works correctly until I use the hanging indent. After using hanging indents and then closing a document, when I come back to the document the first line of every paragraph has disappeared.

But the thing is, the text is still in the document, the first line is simply invisible, so when I backspace on the second line (which is still visible) text from the first line begins to appear. This has been happening almost every time I use LibreOffice, and it makes it quite difficult since I use it for citations. (I was able to confirm the text is still in the document by opening it up in Microsoft Word, which shows the text still there.)

Steps to Reproduce:
I could not reproduce this on command, but it has happened multiple times.

Actual Results:
The first line of every paragraph disappears.

Expected Results:
The first line of each paragraph is visible.


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The software should show the first line of each paragraph as visible.

I also tried uninstalling LibreOffice 7.1.1.2 and using 7.0.5.2 and this error still appears

First step for QA in Bugzilla is to reproduce this problem. But if you don't can describe some steps and if you can't reproduce it on your own, it won't be possible for anybody else.

So please try to describe some steps. You also can add a sample document.
