bfoman confirmed with LO 3.5.4.2
Comment 6 Michail Pappas 2012-09-27 07:35:26 UTC
Confirming with 3.6.1.2.

Possibly related to bug# 54862.
Comment 7 Owen Genat 2014-09-28 10:51:56 UTC
As comment 3 indicates, the attached example contains numerous errors. The main issues / aspects in the document appear to be:

- Text box placement i.e., all p.1 content as shown in MSO2003 screenshot.
- A few small tables i.e., Document/Version and main table on p.2
- Content in tables in header/footer i.e., only displaying on p.2+

The "missing data" from the main table on p.2 may be related to bug 48378. Tested under GNU/Linux using:

Only minor changes in positioning (I hesitate to label these improvements) across these versions, indicating that the problems are yet to be addressed in any significant manner. Version set to 3.3.4. Platform to All/All.
