Description: Unusable document conversion on loading MS Publisher 365 document with one textbox and one image. (uninstalled, not going forward with trying to find a resolution to this at this time)---FYI only---more detail in Actual Results field. Steps to Reproduce: 1.load MS Pub (365) doc with one large textbox and one small image 2.that's all 3. Actual Results: Loading the MS Pub file recreates the .pub file in Draw with incomplete content in large textbox. Upper half of text is present, lower half is absent entirely. Small image in lower half is present. The large textbox extended down beyond the viewable area. Dragging it upward many times never reached the bottom of the textbox and yet the left/right handles still appeared in the vertical center of the sides of the textbox. Also, dragging downward never re-encountered the top of the textbox. Closed and reopened same doc. Tried dragging the top handle of the textbox downward with intent to reposition and do several times to perhaps reach the bottom of the textbox. Not only was this impossible, but as soon as the textbox was dragged or top handle dragged far enough such that viewable content was no longer in the viewable area, the textbox seemed to be empty with infinite height upward and downward from the viewable area and could not re-encounter the partial content. This brief bug report is provided FYI only. I won't have time to follow up on it and do not need assistance. I found it nice that you're working on a Publisher replacement. Hopefully others are not experiencing this type issue. Expected Results: Normal full content Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Downloaded LibreOffice 24.8.2...got the above result. Uninstalled. Downloaded LibreOffice 24.2.6...got exact same above result. This result renders Draw unusable as a MS Pub replacement. Uninstalled. Program is uninstalled...not trying to reset the new download/install user profile since two separate new versions' download/install should have created a usable user profile along with the installation. --- Acer TC-1660, Intel i5-10400 64-bit with 12GB RAM, Windows 11 Home version 23H2 OS build 22631-4317 ((I can provide the actual .pub file if desired...one of several similar files.))
MS Publisher is not an OOXML standard, so LibreOffice ODF support should not be seen as replacement. Rather, we use the libmspub external project, "maintained" under the DLP [1], to filter import the format. IIUC that filter has not had any substantial effort. But, please attach a MS Pub (.pub) test document exhibiting the issue.

Created attachment 197010 [details] 1 page certificate MS Pub file 11 OCT 2024 Update: info I failed to notice/mention: In addition to the one textbox and one image (a signature), this document also has a page-size image behind everything else (certificate border). This document was loaded from the Dropbox folder on my pc (not the online Dropbox). This document is used often without issues in MS Publisher 365. I did not try loading it into MS Pub and doing a Save As with new filename to see if the newer file created still had this issue.
Created attachment 197011 [details] test doc as filter Opened into Draw on master against 25.2.0 (2321626) see the over height 'Text Frame' on filter import opening in Draw. However, simply deleting the paragraph after the awardee's name, then <Shift>+<Enter> removes a large part of the the overheight content. A second deletion at the end of the "Who has satisfactorily completed a" paragraph also replaced with a <Shift>+<Enter> brings the Text Frame fully onto the drawing page and seems the correct layout.
