Created attachment 90619 [details]
A zipped folder with two presentations: the 2-page one (annoying) and the 1-page one (incorrect)

On a large (27") screen, the default presentation of a file is the 2-page one, with the leftmost page empty. Moreover, an attempt to use a standard (1-page) window leads to a cutoff of the rightmost page(s), see the horizontal scroll bar.

Haim, thanks for the report. Can you please provide a test document so this can be tested against and subsequently be confirmed. If your document contains sensitive data, please clear that or replace it with random information. Your zip only contains 2 screenshots. With screenshots this bug isn't really reproducible.

A step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue is most helpful and will help to speed up the processing of this problem a lot.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.

After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)

Comment 4 haim kilov 2013-12-14 01:54:48 UTC
The attachment contains a three-line test as an odt file and its screenshot.
To reproduce the issue, just create a new file with the same content.

Additional possibly useful information:
OpenOffice behaves in the same manner.
I have used both OpenOffice and LibreOffice for a long time and do not recall such strange behavior.
Page description (under Format -> Page) looks somewhat strange: "Arabic, Portrait, All + Default Style + Not register-true". May "Arabic" mean right-to-left?

Confirming, but only when opening file stored on external storage.
Comment 6 Alex Thurgood 2014-07-21 15:46:07 UTC
changed title, happens with any ODT file
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2014-07-21 15:47:46 UTC
tested on osx 10.9.4, 27" screen

Comment 9 haim kilov 2015-09-04 04:12:36 UTC
The bug is still there in LO 4.3.7.2.

Moreover, when I open a new text document, the bug persists: the file presentation is a 2-page one, with no leftmost page and an empty (as it should be) rightmost page.

Mac OS 10.6.8 (therefore I have no later version of LO).

NOTE that the new text document is not opened from external storage!
Comment 10 haim kilov 2016-07-30 03:36:29 UTC
The bug is still there, Mac OS 10.8.5, LO 5.1.4.2.

HOWEVER, the bug seems to be NOT present when a totally new file is created from scratch.

a one-page file opens on a two-page display on an iMac 27"

Mac OS 10.9.5, LO 5.4.0.3

A one-page file still opens in double-page display, although correctly, but with humongous margins on the left and right sides.

Please see the attachment (a screenshot of a small one-page file).
