Problematic document

The attached document contain a long table (~ 2 pages). In LibO the table doesn't split across pages but is all condensed to one page, making it unreadable. Also, it overlaps the header section due to lack of space.

Also attached are screen shots of the document in Word viewer and LibO

Copying the table to a new document or cutting and pasting the table to the same document fixes the problem (even when saving to a doc file). Just resaving the file (doc or odt) without any modification doesn't fixes the problem. Seems to be only an import problem.

This got fixed on master with:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8fe8bd6c3b5b1a539b7370f8c457fa69c061d2de

This was before the libreoffice-4-1 branchoff, so it should be also fine on 4.1 and 4.2, i.e. in all supported release branches.

Thanks Miklos, verified fix in 4.2.4 on Debian Linux.
