Example of problems with references

Please see attatched doc. It opens fine in Word and WPS Writer but the references (citations) look very different in LibreOffice.

Specifically:
1. Size of reference numbers in the main text is not correct.
2. Error with cross reference.
3. Unwanted page break inserted.
4. First reference number wrongly positioned.
5. Size of reference numbers in the citation list is not correct.

These have been long standing issues, unfortunately. I hope you can take a look so I can migrate off non-free code.

Would be nice to get screenshots or PDF export or print from Word (version?).
I'm seeing one "Error: Reference source not found".

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

bug confirmed under Win8.1 64bit using LO 4.3.4.1 and 4.5.0.0.alpha0+

bug is inherited from OpenOffice since OOo 3.3.0 and AOO 4.1.0 show the same bug
Comment 7 2460acc 2015-03-05 22:07:43 UTC
Just reporting these problems are also in 4.4. Also, if it makes it more critical as a bug, reading Microsoft's .docx format presents all the same issues in LO.

IMO the file is a formatting mess :)

Repro in LO 7.0+ for ref. and cross-ref and not for page break.
If DOC saved in MSO as DOCX, repro for ref. and page break, while cross-ref is OK.
I'll set Low unless explained how this was created in MSO (seems not with Citation and Bibliography).

Dear 2460acc,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
