Problem description: When printing with mailmerge on a sheet of labels with 3 columns, the column spacing is not calculated correctly. Column 1 is more or less OK, but columns 2 and 3 are aligned more and more to the left, so that column 3 does not print on the label. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a mailmerge with a database of addresses to print on labels. 2. Select Avery Letter Size 5160 labels 3. Print and notice above described behavior. Current behavior: As above. Expected behavior: I would expect that printing would align the same on labels of all three columns. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 3.5.4 release
So I'm not going to go out and purchase the labels but from spot checking, they look right. Attaching a pdf print. @James - can you print the pdf and see if the labels are aligned? If they aren't I'll just say the bug is confirmed.

I confirmed as well on Avery 5160 template labels (actually Avery 5960, but they use the same template). Clever addresses, Joel! :-)
haha I don't get credit for those ;) Found them online just searching "sample data for address labels ;)

No feedback since more than 6 months, put it as WFM. James: don't hesitate to reopen this tracker if you can reproduce it with a recent LO version (last ones are 4.3.5 and 4.4.0)
