The Problem RTF document

Hi,

I cannot view the last page in the LibreOffice ,but view properly in Microsoft Word 2003 . 

Seems the last page and the last second page are merged.

Please help with many thanks!!

Confirmed in Linux Mint in the latest releases from 3.6 to 4.1.

The major problem is that opening this file in 4.2.4 or 4.3 beta will have all of the 11 pages on a single page, which will rev up the CPU and pretty much stop LibO from working. This was tested in Linux Mint and Windows XP

I can't confirm that this is a regression - removing regression. I bibisected and actually the older versions are even worse (most show 2 pages only and are very cramped). 

Not a critical bug as it's a very unique test case (critical is for data loss/crashers that will affect a large number of users). 

Setting to:
Major - data loss
Highest - I'll leave at this (disagree a bit but that's okay :-D)

Moving to MAB 4.2 since it's been around a long time. MAB 4.3 is only for regressions new to 4.3

I reproduce the problem as described in comment 1 with LibreOffice 4.2.5 on Debian x86_64. In LibreOffice 4.3.1.1 the situation is better: it does not freeze and the document has 12 pages (still not 11, but better than 1). Unfortunately, something is wrong, for example, the first 2 pages ("A" and "B") are merged.

This still effect 4.2.6, with not being able to open. If it opens in 4.1 and doesnt in 4.2, i assume that would be a regression. :)

With 4.3.2, text the red text '4110-0280-404.493   B' from page 2 has jumped and is overlapping the red text on page 1 and the '4110-0280-404.493   C' red text on page 3 has jumped to page 2.

same findings as Jay under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 4.3.4.1 regarding the jump and overlap of those red lines.

regarding the document page number, it is correct with 11 pages and I'm not seeing 12 pages as reported by Alexandr with LibO 4.3.1

moving this to mab4.3 list since 4.2.x is EOL
