Description: When you use “Column Break before” Text Flow for headings in two-columns layout sections, LibreOffice skip unexpectedly the first column for some sections while loading the document, whereas it did not skip it while creating the document. Steps to Reproduce: Short reproduction: open attached document. 1. Create the following document: ``` The first section starts after this paragraph == H1 == Paragraph of h1 == H2 == Paragraph of h2 Paragraph outside of section 1. The second section starts after this paragraph. == H3 == Paragraph of h3 == H4 == Paragraph of h4 The second section ends before this paragraph. ``` 2. Add a two-columns layout for first section (H1 and H2) and second section (H3 and H4). 3. For all headings, check Paragraph → Text Flow → Breaks → Insert: Column Before 4. Save the document. Close it. Reopen it. Actual Results: Heading3 displays in second column, the first column of its section is skipped. Expected Results: Closing and re-opening the document should not produce any change. Heading3 should display in 1st column, as Heading1 is. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Tested with: * LibreOffice 7.3.7 on Windows 10 * LibreOffice 7.0.4 on Debian

Good Afternoon. Thank you for reporting the bug. Following the steps provided, I was unable to reproduce the bug. The builds used for testing this bug were: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d07b1cc8148140bd3a78103da668d002b9d266ab CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Kind Regards
Thank you Lesline. The reproduction steps are maybe not enough clear. While opening the attached document, don’t you notice an unexpectedly empty left column just before H3? I have upgraded my LibreOffice on Windows (see below) and I still meet this bug. Version: 7.4.5.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9c0871452b3918c1019dde9bfac75448afc4b57f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded
I reproduce from scratch. Arch Linux 64-bit, X11 Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 74f398bb58510087cc4a11bb2253715771a2c6b2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Built on 22 March 2023
Still repro. In 3.5 the unwanted result is displayed immediately without needing to save. Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d500848976b6244048684a9972322b582559910a CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+wayland) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Built on 19 September 2024
