A comparison of the first page header vs the default header.  They render differently even though they are styled identically.

Problem description: 

I am writing and application that produces DOCX files using ECMA-376 3rd ed. standard. In the document final section properties (ECMA-376 Section 17.6.17), there can be more than one headerReference element (ECMA-376 Section 17.10.5): one for the first page, one for odd pages, and one for even pages. I specified a first and default (left) page reference.  I also specified that there shall be a title page using titlePg (ECMA-376 Section 17.10.6), so my document final section properties look like so:

<w:sectPr>
  <w:headerReference r:id="rId2" w:type="first" />
  <w:headerReference r:id="rId3" w:type="default" />
  <w:pgNumType w:fmt="decimal" />
  <w:pgMar w:bottom="1440" w:footer="0" w:gutter="0" w:header="0" w:left="1440" w:right="1440" w:top="1440" />
  <w:pgSz w:h="15840" w:w="12240" />
  <w:textDirection w:val="lr" />
  <w:titlePg w:val="1" />
  <w:type w:val="nextPage" />
</w:sectPr>

I have also styled my headers in the style part of the document to be vertically centered in the top margin of the page. The default header renders correctly, however, the first page header renders incorrectly.

Current behavior:

The title page, or first page, header is incorrectly displayed. See attached screen shots.

Expected behavior:

When multiple headers are specified in the document final section properties, they should both be displayed correctly.

Hi rfrey,

Thank you for your bug report, and apologies for not responding to you sooner. I'm not an expert in the particulars of the DOCX file format, but I'm cc'ing one of our developers who has more experience in this area.

It would be helpful if you could attach an example Writer DOCX file that demonstrates this problem (as you show in your screenshot). I suggest that you try downloading a current stable version of LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/) and use that to edit your example file. We've made a lot of progress since 3.5.6, and it's possible that the header rendering issue you're describing has been fixed.

Thanks!
