LibreOffice generate many pages, in thin columns and > then it blocks! TESTING on Ubuntu 14.04: In LO 4.4.0.1, I see a large number of pages (~180), and lots of content in thin columns In LO 3.5.7.2, I see ~109 pages, many with content in 2 columns in landscape mode. In both, the document definitely makes LibreOffice run slowly. The layout in 3.5 looks A LOT better, so I'm going to tag this as a regression.

The thin column problem happened in 4.3 as 4.2.6 is fine and it has 92 pages when you open page preview after repagination. Version: 4.2.6.2 Build ID: 185f2ce4dcc34af9bd97dec29e6d42c39557298f

I just tested LO 4.3.2.2, and it's got the same 4 skinny columns problems. Narrowing-down on the problem, but I'm cc'ing the (bi)bisect maestro here to figure out what went wrong. If we work quickly, we can take this bug from opening -> commit identified in about one day ;-)

The most recent breakage of the attached file seems to have appeared at the below commit Adding a Cc: to l.lunak@collabora.com. Could you shed any light on what's going on with this bug? Thanks commit c5ed52b1cd6f22787c94bec035ceecf9e1da3271 Author: Luboš Luňák <l.lunak@collabora.com> Date: Mon Jul 21 10:56:52 2014 +0200 ww8import create a pagedesc if continuous section changes margins (bnc#875383) This is similar to what writerfilter does. MSWord can have one page with several different margins, which are saved using continuous sections, which causes all kinds of trouble, because either we treat them as Writer sections, which means we lose some of the data, or we treat them as Writer page styles, which causes spurious page breaks if in the wrong place. Either option has its problems, but here it seems slightly better to go for keeping the data and hoping the page break will be in a place where a break will be anyway.
