ReferenceDocument.docx

the attached document is not having its first page read, and the columns formatting is bad, causing wrapping in many locations. This is a DOCX document from MS.
Same formatting issue is showing on Go-OO 3.2, but the first page is coming in. Attached as well screenshot comparing MS vs. Go-OO_3.2 vs. IBM Lotus Symphony.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Opening the sample document I still see several probelems with Parallel Dev-Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta2 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [Build-ID : 8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978].

Most visible problem is the cruelly damaged first page, the picture is missing.
Comment 7 Jorendc 2013-02-18 09:34:44 UTC
Still reproducible using Linux Mint 14 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.0 and master Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 07ee72672e6966dafccf21ca3349e428c2a9dd0).

I mark this bug following [1] as 'Major medium'.

Kind regards,
Joren

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)
