Bug ID: 173584
Summary: FILEOPEN: Footer content is misaligned and partially
shifted to the next page when opening DOCX in
LibreOffice Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When opening the attached DOCX document in LibreOffice Writer, the document
body content is rendered correctly, but the footer section is not displayed
properly compared to Microsoft Word.
The footer layout is misaligned, and some footer elements that appear on the
same page in Microsoft Word are shifted to the next page in LibreOffice Writer.
This results in incorrect spacing, footer positioning, and page layout
differences.
Sections start on different pages than intended.
Overall document pagination and visual presentation do not match the original
DOCX document.
As a result, the page layout differs from the original Microsoft Word document,
and the generated PDF does not match the expected output.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the attached DOCX document in Microsoft Word.
2.Observe the footer content and page layout.
3.Open the same DOCX document in LibreOffice Writer.
4.Observe the footer rendering.
5.Export the document to PDF from LibreOffice Writer.
6.Compare the Microsoft Word output, LibreOffice Writer view, and exported PDF.
Actual Results:
Footer content is not aligned correctly in LibreOffice Writer.
Some footer elements are shifted onto the following page.
Additional whitespace is introduced near the footer area.
The same layout issue is preserved in the PDF exported from LibreOffice Writer.
The rendered output and exported PDF do not match Microsoft Word.
Expected Results:
Footer content should remain on the correct page.
Footer alignment, spacing, and positioning should match Microsoft Word.
No footer elements should be moved to the next page.
PDF exported from LibreOffice Writer should preserve the same layout as the
original DOCX document rendered in Microsoft Word.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
