sample odt with paragraph borders

Problem description:
Under certain circumstances, paragraph borders are not merged which can break document layout and cannot be reverted by Undo command. The bug has been present since OpenOffice.org times.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the sample document. There are blank paragraphs (some of them with 10pt font size) followed by two paragraphs ("first paragraph" and "second paragraph") formatted by a style. Border option "Merge with next paragraph" is checked.
2. Insert a blank paragraph (by pressing Enter) before the bordered paragraphs. The "second paragraph" moves to the second page.
3. Delete the paragraph that you just inserted.

Current behavior:
The "second paragraph" still remains at the second page.

Expected behavior:
The "second paragraph" should move back to the first page.

This cannot be reverted by Undo, you need to delete end of "first paragraph" line and make it again by pressing Enter.
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-12-07 11:56:06 UTC
Reproducible for me with Version: 4.2.0.0.beta2+ (Build ID: 9bb72868b846a7ba7e8f985a87e944fb760a0f10) under Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64
Reproducible too with versions 4.1.5.0+ and 4.0.6

Another workaround: remove 2 paragraphs before the paragraphs with borders and reinsert one.

Best regards. JBF
