Created attachment 160121
Original DOCX file

I received a DOCX file (7 pages) and saved it as ODT.

After editing the file (removing some content to shrink it to 4 pages) I
could successfully print it.

After saving and again opening it, the layout was corrupted. It had 6
pages with much free space.

Hi Ulf,

I'd like to reproduce the result that you had and that works best if I
use the LibreOffice version that you also have, or if I use a version
close to yours.

If you start LibreOffice and click
   Help -> About LibreOffice
then what version do you get?

It's best if you can copy the text there and paste it here.

Also, if you let me know which parts you removed in document "LE 5_0
Arbeitsauftrage.odt", then I can better recreate the steps that you took
and try to get to the same result.

PS: 
- I'm not a developer. I submitted a few bugs/reports myself and I'm trying to 
confirm the bugs that other people reported here.
- Filename "LE 5_0 Arbeitsauftrage.odt" probably had a few characters more when 
you saved it. Because I work with Windows and Linux on one system, and because 
they have different rules for the characters allowed in filenames, I often 
remove special characters and characters with accents in filenames just before 
saving a file. ;-)

- Open the attached DOCX file. It has 7 pages (paper size DIN A4).
- Delete the content of the 1st page (except page header) as shown in attached 
screen shot. Now 6 pages should remain, and feel free to print it, but not 
necessary.
- Save the document as ODT.
- Open the ODT again ... it now has 8 instead 6 pages. On the 1st page you see 
the first error ... the first 5 lines are outside of the frame, where they 
should be.

Much thanks for your effort!

No, but instead 'a' it was 'รค'. I guess, there is a bug in bugzilla, which 
corrupted it.

Well, I may have good news and bad news. Which one did you like to hear
first? :-D

(They're actually the same. ;-) )

I already had LibreOffice 6.1 installed on my machine. I took the steps that 
you described, saved the document under another name, and reopened it. I had 
six pages and the document looked as expected. I added it as an attachment to 
allow you to check it. It's:
   "LE 5_0 ArbeitsauftrageII.odt"

The "bad" part is that I can't recreate your problem. The good part
however, is that your problem may be corrected in version 6.1.

I saw you're running Ubuntu. If you would want to try version 6.1, you
have two choices. I don't know where you're standing regarding Ubuntu
and LibreOffice expertise and maybe I'm giving you now too many details,
or maybe not enough:

- I'm not familiar with Linux/Ubuntu, and I guess you can install
LibreOffice from the Ubuntu software catalog. I don't know which version
you'll get, but in the Linux/Debian software catalog I get 6.1. That's
why I think you'll get 6.1 too. This probably overrides your 6.0
version. You may need to remove your old version before you can install
a new version, that I don't know.

- You can also download version 6.1 from:
  https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/6.1.5.2/
In this case you probably get version 6.1 next to 6.0. For Ubuntu you probably 
need the "deb" package. After you choose either x86 (32 bit) or x86_64 (64 bit) 
you download the file that you see on top (the one that's 218 MB).

Please let me know if this works for you. Your feedback may be useful
for me to help others with future bug reports. If you need more
information, just let me know as well.

                                ~~~

   Here's the version that I tried:

Version: 6.1.5.2
Build ID: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

Hi Bart,
your LE 5_0 ArbeitsauftrageII.odt still appears corrupted with 6.0.7.3.

The problem could be the document itself, or, the document could be

This works correctly with version 6.1.5.2 on my computer. I added 
   "LE 5_0 ArbeitsauftrageII.png" 
for you to see what I have on my screen. That's why I think that the document 
is okay, but that LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 doesn't show it correctly. Because it 
works fine here, I think that this problem has been corrected in newer versions.

Can you give it a try to install a newer version of LibreOffice? It
works well with a newer version here, and it might work well with a
newer version on your computer also. A newer version might solve your
problem. ;-)

I don't see 6.1 in Ubuntu's catalog:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreoffice&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
Anyway, Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 is a LTS version with 5 years support. It is fixed 
to 6.0.x.y version of LO. There will never be 6.1.x.y in this Ubuntu release.
So I think, it's a valid bug in LO 6.0 branch.

Thanks for your effort.

Ubuntu 20.04 is out. In some weeks I will upgrade. Then I can tell you,
if the bug still exists in LO 6.4.x.y.

Another problem is, that my 12 years old daughter has an old hardware
with only running 32 bit Ubuntu. There is no upgrade for Ubuntu 32 Bit
to 20.04.

Even in your screen shot from 6.1 there is still a bug.
The marked text (see my attachment) should be in the same frame box.

I wondered if you faced an obstacle when trying to install a newer
version.

If you like you can try a third option. If you start LibreOffice and click 
Help, then do you have the option "check for updates"?
  Please check image "Libreoffice63-CheckForUpdates.png"

I suspect that you don't have that option, because in versions 6.3 and
7.0 it's there, but in version 6.1 it's not. However, it doesn't hurt to
try.

Did you try to go to:
  https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/6.1.5.2/
and download and install a newer version from there? 

With some luck you get version 6.1 next to 6.0. That's pretty much what I get 
if I go there and install a newer version. Please check image
   "LXDEandLibreOfficeVersions.png"

For Ubuntu you probably need the "deb" package. After you choose either
x86 (32 bit) or x86_64 (64 bit) you download the file that you see on
top (the one that's respectively 198 MB or 218 MB) and install it.

Maybe this is also a solution for your 12 years old daughter with a 32
bit Ubuntu?

I saw that image, but I'm sorry. I don't know what your document should
look like, and it may be possible to correct that issue also with
LibreOffice 6.1. I'm only a volunteer here, spending a lot of time,
trying to help you as best as I can, but I don't have a magic wand.

Best of luck with it!

PS: There are many other bug reports. I'm going to focus on the other
ones now.

Hi again.
You said, you have MS Windows on your system. Do you also have MS Office?
Then please check for me, how the original DOCX document is displayed there. So 
we can know, which layout is correct.
