Bug ID: 146194
Summary: Sections with columns added writer do not appear as
expected creating unbalanced distribution of text
between columns
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.8.1 release
Hardware: IA64 (Itanium)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have a large text document with 1,000 plus pages containing a mix of text and
images. I use a large number of sections dotted about split up into 2 columns
for the text. For many months now when a section with columns is edited, it
loses its even distribution of text between columns resulting in much of the
text in one column only, the other column remains blank and the whole section
resizes to fill a whole page. This is causing my documents to balloon up in
page count with large amounts of unused empty space in columns.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new blank document. Add a few pages say 5 of random text/paragraph
and images.
2. In the middle of the document add a section between any paragraph
2. Press Insert, Section, columns Tab, 2 columns with equal size, spacing 0.40
cm
3. Add a few paragraphs within the section. Text should distribute equally as
you type.
Actual Results:
The section will suddenly resize to expand the length of the whole page and
text bunches up in one column only.
Expected Results:
Text should distribute equally and balanced across columns and not expand to
fill the whole page with blank space.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
This happens always with my main documents, but I find it hard to reproduce
with brand new document until I've been working on them for a while. Assuming
it was a corrupt file, I have tried restarting with a new document and
transferring text and images over in an attempt to lose the bug. Eventually the
problem always comes back.
