What it looks like on Mac

We use Libreoffice for many of our installation documentation, and it all contains many multipage tables, in a "check list" format.  Lately, especially on Mac, the table headers and text are malformed, as shown in the "image003.png" attachment.  The image001.png attachment is the same page, from a Windows user.

I just downgraded to version 7.0.6.2, and it doesn't malform the same page.

Can you please attach a sanitized sample document to reproduce and hopefully fix this problem.
Comment 4 steve 2021-08-11 09:17:12 UTC
And another question: you reported 7.1.3.2 as first broken version for this regression. How are 7.1.5 and 7.2.0RC2 behaving from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?
Comment 5 Jim Nissen 2021-08-16 16:37:03 UTC
I had previously tried upgrading to 7.1.5, and had same issue.  I just upgraded to 7.2.0RC2, and same issue.  I am attaching a sanitized document that shows the problem.  Page 21 shows the table with headers in middle of the block of table, and text that overlaps columns.

Confirmed on 7.1.5.2, screenshot attached -> NEW

Were are we at with this bug fix?  I just hit it again, and even on the previous version (7.0.6.2), that used to work around it.
