Two reports, both positioned correct while edition - Position Y always 17cm.

For a report, which needs positioning of elements at the second page, I put the details-range over 39,3 cm. Header and footer were both 3 cm, margins both 2 cm. So also the second page had to be filled completly with the details of the first row of data.
When I see "Position Y" in the properties, it shows always 17 cm - for all elements, which are position over 17 cm from above. 
So I have positioned the elements only with the mouse or with arraow-keys. But then I could see, that a inserted shape is positioned not the same way as a label-field. When editing the report, both are positioned at the same Y-Position. But when I perform the report, it shows the shape with a big distance above the label-field.
When I take away header an footer, the distance isn't so far and the lable-field is nearly positioned at the right place.
I have created an attachment, which shows two reports, positioned correct when editing - not correct, when performed.

Shows the design of the report over one page and the output.

Could be there is more than one bug in this report. The description shows, what could happen, when you try to make a report with a section, which needs more than one page:
- The positioned couldn't set with numbers in the properties. Shows always "17cm" for a position over 17cm.
- Shapes, could be also pictures, couldn't be positioned right on the second page. They move to the next text-field or data-field above them. When you add a group in the report, they move outside the report!
- Header and footer aren't shown together with the first section.
- Fields aren't positioned right on second page together with header and footer.

So the only way to geht a nearly right design over one page is 
- not to use any shapes or pictures
- not to use header or footer.

Just testing all bugs from Report-Builder. This bug first appears in the oldest available version of LO, 3.3.0 beta1. So I set the first available bugzilla-version, 3.3.0 release.
