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.

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.
