Created attachment 119567 [details] Example file of continuous section break LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 renders continuous section breaks like Microsoft Office 2013 but the subsequent version 4.3.1.1 doesn't. This bug still exists in 5.0.3.1. The Microsoft Office behaviour is to keep the content on a single page, so if you see two pages in LibreOffice then you have reproduced the bug. I'll attach screenshots showing this. Bug #86468 might be related.

MSWord can have one page with several different margins, which are saved using continuous sections, which causes all kinds of trouble, because either we treat them as Writer sections, which means we lose some of the data, or we treat them as Writer page styles, which causes spurious page breaks if in the wrong place. Either option has its problems, but here it seems slightly better to go for keeping the data and hoping the page break will be in a place where a break will be anyway.
