I can confirm with Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+; win7
When I change anchor of table to "to page" then "as character" ->  placement of the table is the same as in Word.

repro 7.6+

So, these are some rather bizarre tables. The table under point 1 is actually only 5 rows long, and contained inside of a textbox.

The next page has another textbox containing a new table with the contents of cell 5 to the end of the table with cell 9.

Points 2 and three are the same idea.

Surprise, surprise: that isn't working well in LO. Actually it isn't all that bad. Just that point 2 doesn't know which page to anchor on. So it overlaps the textbox/table on the previous page.

Dear tema,

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
