ahhhh...

I downloaded the CV from the Europass official website in PDF and converted to .docx using the paid service from Adobe.

Then I edited with Word 365 and I believe I saved it to the latest .docx format.

Thanks, bearon for telling to add extra information.

> Marco, can you please add a PDF that is the attached DOCX exported from
> Word, for reference?

I didn't export from Word, I exported directly from PDF using the Adobe service I purchased.

The Europass is downloaded from the European Union site in PDF, I opened with Adobe Reader and exported to .docx, then opened with Word 365 and did some formatting.

If you wish, I can send you the PDF by e-mail, since it has my personal information (mobile phone and home address).

I meant, this DOCX looks the expected way in Word, right? If so, please export it as PDF from there for reference (no need to send the original PDF).

This was never OK, rather worse with OO. Repro 5.2 and 7.4+.
Indentation of text in frame (set over image) is not proper, it's 5,47 cm in Word and 0 in Writer. 
I set New.

Dear Marco A.G.Pinto,

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
