Zip File contains: RTF document with layout problems in document header, PDF file with correct layout

When opening the submitted rtf document in LO, the document header is incorrect, it has formatting and alignment issues.

The same issues happens with different LO-Versions (3.5.4, 3.6.2 and 4.0.0beta) and on different platforms (Ubuntu, Windows).
The document was produced with Mic.Office XP, our organisation has a lot of similar documents in use with the same problem, we are invastigating if we can import this documents in Lo without Layout problems.
The document contains anonymized text, and has a tipical document header layout in use of our organisation.

The attached zip file contains the rtf document with the allignment problems, and a pdf that shows the correct document layout when opend with MSOffice XP.

This is the first bug i open with Bugzilla so i hope the information i gave is complete for investigating further on this problem :-)

In LibreOffice 3.5.4 the headers are broken. In LibreOffice 4.3.3 and 4.4.0.0-beta1 the situation is much better. The only problem is incorrect column width (see screenshot).

Now it is bad again with the black/red shape. It is raised up so almost not visible. This happened sometime between 5.2 - 5.4, but it is not possible to bibisect because there is a long period of read error for the file!

I did a bibisect on Linux with 41max to find out what commit touched the layout in that period (so the black/red shape was visible instead of behind a cell). I got https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/c3b0f13546b30e5db3aecd311c7178e4e0933208%5E!/

The example file in Word 2013 and Writer master

Still an issue in:

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: eb69767d7c1bb8e6e780fd9503f08c9d7f5ecb45
CPU threads: 13; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The Red-Black Anchored-As-Char image looked good in 5.4, and broke to the current layout in 6.0, bibisect shows:

Of which I can't point to anything obviously suspicious. Bisect needed...

Dear Markus Egger,

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
