Description dames02.00 2025-07-01 13:57:02 UTC 
Description:
When Autofit is set to on, upon opening the odt headers contain extra white space, but when removing Autofit this is fixed (as shown in sample 1). Also, with Autofit on tables get hidden in between pages(data loss), and when turning Autofit off, this gets fixed (as shown in sample 2). For sample 2 I have provided a screenshot as well so you can easily see the data loss in-between pages.

This seems to be a very similar issue to what this bug I'm linking here was opened for: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166978. The fix for this bug removed the issue in a lot of forms, yet Autofit being on is still a very prevalent issue. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have Autofit set to on, and open odt

Actual Results:
After opening the odt, we could see the bug immediately without any further action

Expected Results:
The extra space in the header should not have been there, and the table should have been appearing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I have both sample 1 and 2 attached along with the version of the odt's that work properly with Autofit off. Also, I have a screenshot of sample 2's data loss.

This regressed somewhere between 24.2.0.3 and 24.8.0.3.

Maybe it is in relation with hidden sections, there are a lot of them.
Comment 8 abhishah4444 2025-07-08 21:25:40 UTC 
Seems like data loss is persistent and unknown to producer/creator.
