Description Andy 2015-12-30 22:44:48 UTC
Open any Writer document. visualize the sidebar on the "properties" tab.

In the Paragraph section, all space and indents numerical fields (e.b. space above the paragraph) are free to edit.

Now choose the "print preview" in the standard toolbar or in the FILE menu.

When exiting the print preview and going back to normal editing, the same fields in the sidebar are greyed out and not usable anymore.

Upon saving the document, closing and reopening it, the fields are correctly working again.

While fiddling to understand the exact behaviour of this bug, I found a (relative) workaround:

If your input fields are greyed out after a print preview command and you save the document, they resurface and are usable again without closing and reopening.

As requested I have checked if the problem is still there in 5.3.0.3
Nothing has changed. 
When you open a print preview, the paragraph input boxes in the sidebar are disabled and cannot be edited until you save the file again.
Best regards
