Description besancon4me 2021-08-03 09:17:03 UTC
Description:
Unable to delete an empty page in Writer if the document contains images and drawing objects because the operation removes all the drawing objects as well.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an empty document. Make multiple pages using Ctrl Enter.  Add at least one image to page 1 and at least 1 drawing object.  Go to the last (empty) page and use backspace to remove the last page. 





Actual Results:
This does not occur 100% of the time but very often all the drawing objects will be deleted along with the paragraph marker.  The only way to restore the objects is to undo the paragraph delete operation.

Expected Results:
The empty page should be removed without deleting other objects in the document.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

I reproduced like this in 7.5+, for some reason Linux only, GEN and GTK3:
1. Open 2 pages ODT
2. Go to page 2 and press backspace, see 1 page OK
3. Undo, see 2 pages OK
3a. (if clicked here on page 2, no repro, so for bug do not click)
4. press backspace, see just 1 empty page

It is a change, slight improvement in LO 7.3. Previously press backspace would immediately delete all contents. More back up to LO 6.3 press backspace would delete image.

LibreOffice Version 7.3.7.2 Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

I have tried to reproduce this bug using the steps as originally described and it appears to be working as expected. However, this was an intermittent issue, so it's not 100% certain it is resolved.
