Bug ID: 170090
Summary: DOCX export/saveas creates persistent border under
endnotes and breaks line numbering, while ODT works
correctly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When working with endnotes in LibreOffice Writer, formatting issues occur only
after saving the document in DOCX format.
The same document behaves correctly when saved and reopened in ODT format.
Issue 1 — Persistent border begining od endnotes page(DOCX only)
After saving a document as DOCX, a horizontal border/line appears under the
endnotes section.
This border:
Is a footnote/endnote separator
Appears to be related to page style / footer / shadow or border handling
Even if the border is manually removed (Page Style → Borders → Shadow off,
Borders none) and the document is saved again as DOCX:
The border reappears after reopening
The same document saved as ODT does NOT show this issue
This suggests a DOCX export/import regression or incorrect mapping of page
style borders/shadows related to endnotes.
Issue 2 — Line numbering breaks when endnotes are present (DOCX, ODT)
When line numbering is enabled:
line numbering skips numbers on pages containing endnotes
This issue:
Occurs in DOCX
Does not occur in ODT
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new Writer document
Add body text
Insert endnotes
Enable line numbering
Save the document as DOCX
Close LibreOffice
Reopen the DOCX file
Actual Results:
A horizontal border appears under the endnotes
Border cannot be permanently removed
Line numbering is broken on pages containing endnotes
Expected Results:
No border should appear under endnotes unless explicitly defined
Line numbering should remain consistent and identical to ODT behavior
DOCX and ODT should render endnotes consistently
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The issue does not occur in ODT
The issue persists across save–reopen cycles in DOCX
Likely related to:
DOCX export of page styles
Endnote section formatting
Border / shadow serialization
Line numbering interaction with endnotes
