I can reliably reproduce the issue. If I upgrade fonts-liberation and
fonts-liberation2 to the versions that are in cosmic, the issue goes
away. Thus marking a duplicate of bug #1769654.

Title:
ubuntu versions of libreoffice writer render and print some documents
improperly, they show up with fewer/missing pages
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Libreoffice writer as packaged by Ubuntu is rendering and printing
some documents incorrectly - differently than the debs from
libreoffice and the versions for most other OSes. It is possibly
triggered by lots of overlapping images that were pasted into the
document.
When you open the attached document it should show up as 7 pages.
However with 6.0.3.2 ( 1:6.0.3-0ubuntu1 ) in the standard Ubuntu
18.04 repositories it briefly shows 1/7 pages in the lower left as the
document loads and then switches to 1/5 pages, and only 5 pages show
up and print.
The same thing happens with 6.0.5.2 from the libreoffice fresh ppa and
6.0.6 from the prereleases ppa.
This has been repeated using a clean 18.04 install, dist-upgraded.
Between versions I remove --purge libreoffice* and delete.
.config/libreoffice/.
I filed this bug at libreoffice:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118597
but then found out that the problem does not occur using a different OS like
windows or redhat or debian or manjaro. ( linux mint shows the same behavior
as Ubuntu). If you open that document with the .deb files downloaded directly
from the libreoffice site and installed into /opt then the document renders as
7 pages. So it sure seems like this is an Ubuntu-specific bug. As mentioned
in the libreoffice bug it is not as simple as a VCL gtk3 vs. gtk2 difference, I
don't know what else is different between the ubuntu repository and ppa
packages and the debs from libreoffice.
The problem was initially discovered under Ubuntu 16.04 using 6.0.5.2
from the fresh ppa , some documents were showing as 7 pages but only 5
pages were printing, but only with certain printer ppds. The fact
that the document displays as 7 vs. 5 pages is much easier to see and
replicate and is hopefully related to the original printing missing
pages problem.
