Description lanedvt 2023-07-12 15:53:52 UTC
Description:
Sometimes - and I don't know what triggers this - LibreOffice Writer adds blank pages at the end of a file I'm working on, and sometimes even after I've saved it. I do not create these pages myself. Stranger still, there's nothing, not even a page break on these extra pages. I can only get rid of them by adding a page break at the actual end of my file and and adding a page break for each of the spurious additional pages; then I backspace until the page breaks are gone along with the extra pages. If I don't do that, the extra pages remain after I save the file. Weird!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Work on a Writer file
2.Save the file and close it
3.Call the file back up (happens only sometimes)

Actual Results:
described in "Steps to Reproduce"

Expected Results:
1-4 added pages


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
The software should not have added any pages. I'm not sure if this is simply a display problem or something else entirely. I've tried replacing my LibreOffice entirely with a current download of LibreOffice, and it still happens (though usually not right away).

Please, share a sample file showing the issue.

Sometimes, an object (shape, image) can be placed outside the page border. You can see the object in the Navigator, but can't delete it.
