Created attachment 186535 [details] n592908-frameC_word2010.pdf: how it looks in MS Word In attachment 186534 [details] (From bug 154703) we have a frame with 3 paragraphs. The first two paragraphs have a different background colour specified, and the third is empty. The problem is that the second (empty) paragraph's blue band is covering a couple of lines of text from paragraph one. This is because the paragraph has a top border spacing defined, and that is applying even though the properties "merge with the next paragraph". It became visible with LO 5.3 commit 9130627e21dd7c52c5eee1acc4b71f86eb9f3118 Author: Justin Luth on Mon Oct 31 11:59:09 2016 +0300 tdf#41542 globally allow padding without borders: layout I don't think I'd call this a regression - I think it exposed an existing failure to absorb the merged spacing. Prior to this there was a "white gap" between the paragraphs - it is good that this gap at least is gone. I was not able to replicate this in a clean document though... reducing severity.
Confirmed. I opened the docx in office.com and it was rendered similarly, also having padding inside the box, so the background colours did not touch the sides. Saving it as PDF was almost like your MSO 2010 PDF, except the colours were bleeding out from the left side. So MSO has also evolved.
