the empty pages between text

Hi
I had a problem with the version 3.6 of Libreoffice. After I closed a document and re-opened it, out of nowhere the document pages were more than before. And as I browsed the document I could sse that before some pics it added empty pages (1 to 15 in most cases). I upgraded to 4.3 and the same problem occured but now it messed up the formation too. If I press delete to erase the empty space and then press "undo" it returns to the normal form (without the empty pages) in most cases.

Nikos: you may try to validate your file http://odf-validator.rhcloud.com/
but then I'm stuck.
Comment 10 Urmas 2014-11-11 23:09:41 UTC
You could remove the text from your document by replacing "[:letter:]" with "x" and extra figures to make it suitable to attach here.

Comment 14 Nikos 2014-11-17 17:53:24 UTC
I used the odf-validator but it generated tons of errors and I think this might happened because the document is in another language. 
So I added a file and as I understand the problem occurs when you copy and paste some text (with images) from another document. And it isn't even sure it will happen to the same pages. Additionaly I have some images in tables and some of them are getting messed up too. If I delete the empty pages and then I press "undo" the document might come to the original form
Comment 15 Julien Nabet 2014-11-17 21:03:22 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with 4.3.3 LO Debian package, I don't see empty pages.
However, sometimes graphics/images take a little time (1 or 2 secs) to appear.

Would it be possible you give a try to brand new 4.3.4 LO version?
Also how much RAM do you have?
Comment 16 Nikos 2014-11-17 21:23:58 UTC
I already use the 4.3.3 (I did an upgrade from 3.6). I have 8gb ram. The current document is much smaller than the original. The first time I saved it and reopened it it added one empty page but now it doesn't. It's so frustrating. I will try to send another one

Test 7.1+:
Attachment 109635 [details] has 52 pages, empty on page 40 (before it was on page 14).
Empty due to the following image anchored To Paragraph.
Setting to 40 and resaving doesn't help, while anchor To Character does. 
Repro OO so Inherited (first 51 on open, but soon 52 pages). 

Attachment 109640 [details] has 77 pages, page 41 empty, that's the same image.

Dear Nikos,

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
