Open the attached DOCX, forum-mso-en3-21133.docx. The document has two pages, with tables on each.
When opening in Writer, the document is three-page long, as the table on the first page moves to a separate page.

Observed in LO 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (8ea8e254a3151f5390f3a10ff156fcaf8e7c5d5c) / Windows.

This move happened with the following commit in 7.6, ie. the implementation of the handling of floating tables in Writer:

"tdf#61594 sw floattable: import floating tables as split flys by default"

Note that before this commit the table was still misplaced within the page, now that is correct.
