Created attachment 93233 [details] the resulting odt with wrongly duplicated headers The information first page header / odd page header / even page header gets scrambled if an object (e.g. text frame) is inserted into the header. After a save / load cycle, the inserted object appears duplicated into the wrong headers (e.g. odd pages, even so it was only inserted for even pages) Steps to reproduce: Create a new document Format / Page / Header Select Header on Deselect "Same content left/right" Deselect "Same content on first page" Insert page break On page 2, insert a text frame into the header into the header. Enter text "Even page" into the text frame. Insert page break On page 3, insert a text frame into the header into the header. Enter text "Odd page" into the text frame. So far, behaviour is correct: no header on page one, and text-frames with "Even page" on all even pages, text-frames with "Odd page" on all odd pages > 1. BUG: saving and reloading the document (as standard ODT format) corrupts this header setup: Now save the document as "Test.odt" Quit LibreOffice And open the document "Test.odt" again. The header is now corrupted/duplicated to the wrong pages: On page 1, "Odd page" appears (expected behavior: no text box on page 1) On all even pages, we have now two text boxes (possibly on top of each other): one with "Odd page" and one with "even page". (expected: as before "odd page" should only appear on odd pages, similar with "even pages). This bug is quite severe, since it alters a document without user interaction. It's not possible for a user to fix this permanently. Each time, extra-copies of unwanted text frames are deleted, this only holds until next save / open cycle: Again unwanted frames manifest. The document corrupts itself on each save.
Reproduced with LibO 4.2.0.4 on Win7. Probable duplicate of bug 73940, bug 71360 and bug 69065. At least closely related to each other. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 71360 ***
Sorry, but the problem is not fixed. Bug 71360 was resolved and retested with 4.2.0.2. This bug still exists in 4.2.0.4 and can also be reproduced in today's development-build ( 4.3.0.0.alpha0 daily from Feb-3-2013)
OK
(should find time to digg into this ..)
Maybe this helps: I tested the same scenario with OpenOffice 4.0.1: correct behaviour, bug is not in that version, so it's a problem of the LibreOffice code-base only.
Confirmed, disabled header (for first page) after saving is visible on first page. Duplicates too after saving more times. Really messes document title.
Moving to NEW as it looks like this was confirmed previously. If it's no longer a problem please set to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME. Thank you.
Retested this scenario with LibreOffice 4.3.3: The bug is fixed. Header handling works now as expected with no duplications. Can be closed.
