Document created with Writer 4.3.7.2 Formatting problem with 4.5.2

FORMATTING:

A odt document, which is routinely used for report generation, including tables and checkboxes, with graphics and photos placed in the table worked fine up to Writer 4.3.7.2. 
After upgrading to 4.5.2 some content is no longer visible on the 4.5.2 Desktop, however is still present on the desktop of 4.3.7.2, which means the content is still in the disk file.
In addition the position layout of pictures in the table is lost and the pictures moved from their original position. 

I have attached the original odt document.  Exporting to pdf with Writer 4.5.2 also shows the blank fields and lost position layout of the pictures.

Any idea, how to circumvent this, except creating a completely new document template?

Problems with rendering are obvious, but:
- it's highly unlikely that any bugs of type "some content/multiple problems/bad rendering", will be fixed
- each issue (section break, paragraph break, text box, picture, font...) should be reported separately, after a search for already reported bugs
- if bugs don't exist, they should be reported separately, even if they happen with the same file

For example, missing Courier (Korrosion... text on page 3) looks like Bug 90842.
It can be solved with adding font change from "Courier" to "Courier New" in Tools-Options-Fonts.
And then, pictures are also fine.
