Document with bug - go to page 48, third column, and ENTER past end of page.
I have been working on a project to translate a (relatively small) book from
German into English.
Currently, I have created a document that has a three-column table.
The first column has the German text, OCR'd from .png files of scanned pages.
As I work, I copy the German text into a browser window that has Google
Translate loaded, and have it translate.
I then copy the translation into both the second and third columns for that
page.
I leave the second column of the page alone, and correct the translation in the
third column.
(The second column is used in case of accidental erasure, or I later decide
that some of Google's translation
was better than I originally thought, or ... )
When I finish with a page, I then press the ENTER key after the text in each of
the second and third columns
until the cursor is now at the top of that column on the next page, and repeat
the above procedure for the new page.
However, having finished page 47, I translated the text for page 48, and found
I had a problem.
I was able to ENTER down in the second column to the top of the next page, and
copy the translation there, but when I attempted to do the same with the third
column, I was unable to do so:
Repeatedly pressing ENTER in the third column first caused the text to
vertically adjust up and down a bit, which was unexpected;
but when I ENTER'd from the last row in the column, the cursor did not go to
the top of the next page, but to a position about halfway down the page, and
nothing I could do would make it go to the top of the page.
This is obviously a bug.
Since the next version of Lubuntu was coming up, with a new version of
LibreOffice, I decided to wait until I installed Lubuntu 16.04 before
continuing, hoping that the new version of LibreOffice would no longer have the
bug.
It did have the bug, however...
[I attempted to make a new document and copy everything to it, hoping to leave
the bug behind, but encountered another bug.
First, when I attempted to Select All, only one column of the table was
selected - (is this a bug or a Feature?).
Well... no problem, there are only three columns - I'll just do one at a
time...
Hmmm... I just tried it now, and it worked fine. Perhaps when I tried it, it
was the previous version, and the bug was fixed in the new version...
But when I tried it before, by the time I tried to copy to the third column,
the "Page xxx of yyy" display kept changing
the xxx/yyy up and down, never reaching the end, never finishing.]
I was only able to continue my work by making a copy of the work, and renaming
the two pieces to _1 and _2, and deleting
the end for _1, and the beginning for _2.
Anyway, the initial bug still remains, and as I am only about 1/3 through the
document, I strongly suspect I will encounter it again.
I enclose the document so that you can see what I am talking about, and make a
start at fixing the bug.
I also enclose two screenshots. One shows the page/column after I approach the
bottom of the page, repeatedly entering the letter "a" followed by ENTER.
The second screenshot shows the first "a" after reaching the new page.
