            Bug ID: 154082
           Summary: FILEOPEN DOCX: section starts after the top margin of
                    the first paragraph in the section
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: filter:docx, notBibisectable
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

            Blocks: 104520, 107738

If a section starts with a back-ground coloured paragraph and a top margin of
100pts, you would expect to see a large coloured block above the text. And
normally you do, except at the start of a section - where the block is just
"empty".

This is especially noticeable when the section has columns. The other columns
don't start "at the top of the page", but "after the 100pt top margin". In
other words, they are automatically aligned with the first paragraph's text.

This is a fundamental difference between LO and MS Word. See bug 153964 where
this was initially discussed, and is demonstrated by
attachment 185823: sectionStart.odt.

To reproduce:
-open attachment 185749: columnMargin15.docx

It should look like the compat15 version in attachment 185748.


This is not bibisectable. I don't care if earlier versions imported the DOCX as
page-columns instead of section-columns. The point of the bug report is about
sections, so use sectionStart.odt if you want to do any bibisecting.
