Bug ID: 98220
Summary: 5.0.5.2 headers (with watermark images) & footers are
BROKEN on Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I want all pages to use the same background (watermark) image on every page
(which I would normally accomplish by inserting an image in the header and
configuring the image to mirror on even pages, but Writer keeps resetting the
header configuration to something other than that setting, e.g. only allowing
the image on the first page or the first two pages, but definitely none after
the second. Saving and reopening gets you something other than you had before
you saved and exited.
I also want NO footer on the first page and "p. <pageNumber> of <pageCount>" on
the outside corner of a double sided document (hence different even and odd
page footers), but I just can't get Writer to stick with that configuration.
It won't let me eliminate the first page footer, changing the footer
configuration affects the header configuration and vice versa.
Headers and footers are AFU and 5.0.5.2 is worse than the previous release
(which was more amenable to giving you the aforementioned configuration).
Background images are also much harder to work with than the previous release.
It's almost impossible to select it once you've inserted it and editing text
that writes through the image after the image has been inserted is essentially
impossible too. Also worse than the previous release (which was more
cooperative, if a bit flakey).
Finally, I have a 22 page document with a few small images (not counting the
watermark, which is huge) and Writer is choking badly - screen updates take a
LONG time and it crashes too (another thing the previous release was better
at). At the moment, a document you have to say a few Hail Mary's before you
have a prayer of writing a document longer than 20 pages.
IMO, 5.0.5.2 needs a LOT of QA consideration (it has become wholly unusuable).
