I'm creating a new page via the "Labels" wizard and select "Avery Zweckform 3422..." The new document has then a page size of format "User" and width=21,04cm, height=28,88cm but in reality the label page is exactly A4 Changing the page size to A4 clearly disrupts the page layout and makes the page useless. I cross checked the same label type with M$-Word and there the page has exactly A4 format. This is not only a problem of this specific Avery-Zweckform 3422 label but also with other Avery-Zweckform labels.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
as per: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=donkers+label+bug&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 this is likely a duplicate of bug 36874. Please check and change the state of this bug to RESOLVED/DUPLICATE, if that is indeed the case.
This seems to be a duplicate of bug 36874, however I now tested my problem with 3.5-beta2: - The original problem of the wrong page size seems to be fixed - But the resulting page is now _worse_ than before. The problem I see now is that the new document created from "Avery Zweckform 3422" has now 2 (!) pages instead of exactly 1. Every second row seems to have wrong margin settings for the right-column label. See attached screenshot.

I confirm the behaviour (version master). This particular label is 70 mm wide and has 3 columns, giving a width of 210mm. Possibly because rounding somewhere the width becomes too much for A4 (the page width is set to A4) and the label layout gets distorted. Setting the page width to 21.02mm (and left/right margin to 0) restores the layout. I will see if I can solve this whilst working on bug 44516.
It is indeed a problem with rounding off: The traditional measure in printing is twip (twentieth of a Postscript point), the label dimensions are in 0.01mm. The calculated width of 3 HEMA labels is 11907 twips, A4 is 11906 twips... I will address this whilst working on bug 44516.
patch for 44516 submitted, which also fixes problem in this bug
