See attachment of 'See Also' bug report 49413.
Comment 2 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-05-09 01:35:12 UTC
No idea what the problem might be, I can't see any table in the sample document from Bug 49413 with any software.

@f_rietveld@yahoo.com 
Please contribute concrete info like "on page xx text string "yyy" missing, reason "zzz".

See the comment in the other bug report by Jean-Baptiste Faure who also reproduced the problem:

"
Reproducible in master (Build ID: f1005e5) which only one table while LO 3.4.6
shows 4 tables on 2 pages (2 tables by page).

Miklos it is one for you. Please, feel free to reassign if you can't handle
this bug.

Best regards. JBF

Screenshot: no sections at all?

It has been confirmed that second page is empty, nothing else. I can't see any "Section" at all with 3.4.5. Do you have knowledge concerning roots of the problem you did not tell until now or did you only want to say "page 2 empty"?
Comment 5 f_rietveld 2012-05-09 05:37:18 UTC
I understand your confusion now, I've got some new insight as well now, let me try to explain to get this clear.

First of, the example in the other bug report is wrong, it does not contain a new section indeed. I had been toying around a bit with sections and uploaded a version without the section. Sorry about this. So it seems that this issue is not related to sections specifically.

However, I've now created a new RTF file with a new section and stumble upon, I think, another issue:

1. I'm using an RTF generator that generates /sect/sectd when defining a new section.
2. Apparently, now that I look into it more carefully, Libre Office does not recognize this as a new section start. Even Libre Office 3.4.4 still mentions 0 sections.

So it seems we're dealing with two bugs here: the text and table not showing on the second page of the document, and Libre Office does not seem to honour the /sect/sectd statement contained within this new RTF file.

I'll attach the new RTF, that includes the /sect/sectd sequence, to this report.

Please let me know what to do. Should I make two separate new reports out of these two issues to clean up this messy bug report a bit?

[Reproducible] with reporter's new sample and "LibreOffice  3.5.5.3.  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)

MS WORD Viewer shows a second page full of contents, in LibO only first pate with a table ending with "Bijlage: specificatie" is shown.

No longer reproducible with Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 rc  German UI/Locale [Build-ID:  932b512] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit), so WFM for now.

@Miklós:
Is there a chance to find the commit fixing this and to backport it to 3.5 with acceptable costs?

Just for information, on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I reproduce this.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa
