If you format the Lines on page one and than edit page two it may be that the line on page one change their characteristics if you take a look at it later. (167.35 KB, application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics)

When I create multilateral flowcharts in DRAW the connecting lines in the pages that are not in the focus have changed their characteristics if I check them next time. In earlier times I used OpenOffice for the same flowchards and I never noticed that behavior with that.

Changed the formatting (width, line color) of a bunch of lines on page 1, but did not see any changes in formatting on the 2nd page.

To other testers: View - Page pane to see the pages.

What LibreOffice version are you using?

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

I see I did not describe the problem right.
It does not happen any time but it is not only the color of a line to change.
Most of the time it happens when I change the layout of the flowchart and then save it to disk. 
That means I connect the lines with other parts of the flowchart on page one. After saving this changes to disk the layout of other pages have changed.

The image is from page 4.

I can confirm that when I straightened out the line between:
UMS D1 <-> UMS D2
saved & reloaded, the line had turned back into that "cornered" version.

I have seen the behavior on my two computers.
1.) Win 8.1 Prof (64Bit) LibreOffice 4.4.1.2

The bug is still present in version 5.1.2 of LibreOffice. 
I tested with LibreOffice Version: 5.1.2.2 (x64) on 2 Windows 10 (Pro) computers.

I often use this kind of drawings for my work, so I am really shure that the software still shows the same behavior as I have discribed.

In the meantime I am using LibreOffice 5.3.3 (64-Bit) on Windows 10 Pro (Creators Updates)

Now using LibreOffice 6.04 on Window 10 Build 1803 the behaviour is still the same.
When saving one page another one is changing...

The bug can no longer be reproduced in my short tests with LibrreOffice 7.1.4!
I tested this on three different drawings and none of them showed the problem. Usually the error could be reproduced very quickly.
But now none of the lines in the drawing changed their appearance, as they did in the old versions of LibreOffice.
I am pleased to see that someone has apparently accidentally corrected the error I found at the same time....
