a 12-month calendar

I'm attaching a .doc file that is a calendar.  With LibreOffice I see
January on the first page, but none of the other month names on their
pages.  The author of the calendar asserts that with Microsoft Word all
the month names are there, and that Open/Libre Office have this bug that
does not display them.

Confirmed.

Comment 7 Justin L 2017-09-07 00:37:41 UTC
Reproducible in LO6.0dev.

In MS Office, you can see that the left column with the Month and Year have a black background, and the text is white.  The text is still white, but the background is also white, so the text cannot be seen.

I round-tripped the file with Word 2003, but that didn't help.
A DOCX version imports fine.
Comment 12 Justin L 2021-04-14 13:56:56 UTC
I tried to create my own reproducer from scratch but failed. This is an autoshape with text added to it.

Dear Jim Haynes,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
