1. Open document
   Footer does not show the text:
     Unauthorised version prepared by ACT Parliamentary Counsel’s Office
2. Select Print Preview (Ctrl+Shift+O)
   Just before showing Print Preview the footer shows the text
   (This computer must be very slow)
3. Print Preview shows text.
4. Close Print Preview (Esc)
   Normal View now shows the text.

Thank you

Perhaps this is only a Windows bug as it shows correctly on:

Confirmed with v5.2.0.0a1 under ubuntu 16.04 x64.

If you go to 'format footer' and change the height from 0.10 cm to 0.20, the lost text appears again.
But, after saving (to rtf) and opening again, the footer height changed again back to 0.10. Dunno if the rtf spec say something about setting the height, can't find it. So I don't know if it's an LO bug or a flaw in the rtf spec.

\footeryN 	Footer is N twips from the bottom of the page (the default is 720).
http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm

Twips are screen-independent units to ensure that the proportion of screen elements are the same on all display systems. A twip is defined as being 1/1440 of an inch. A pixel is a screen-dependent unit, standing for 'picture element'. A pixel is a dot that represents the smallest graphical measurement on a screen.

The right only shows "Page 5" instead of "Page 5 of 5"; hence still repro in
