Look at issue 45593. Maybe it's the same problem. (In reply to mroe from comment #1) > Look at issue 45593. Maybe it's the same problem. I looked at the issue initially, but I think this is different. The problem isn't that the user needs more accuracy, but that the information displayed does not match the what the system is actually doing. I am fine with a "Normal" margin of 0.79, but I would expect the "Normal" 0.79 to be the same as the manually set 0.79. You can input any metric independent from your system/program settings. Your document has margins 2.00 cm = 0.7874[...] in ~ 0.79 in 0.79 in = 2.0066 cm ~ 2.01 cm Simply input 2.00 cm and 2.01 cm to see your described effect. System configuration: OpenOffice Writer Version 4.2.0 AOO420m1(Build:9800) - Rev. 1692551 Windows 10 Home Edition 4th Generation Intel® Mobile Core i7-4710MQ Haswell Processor 16GB RAM 64-bit Operating System I was unable to reproduce the bug with my own document and text. However, I successfully replicated the bug with the sample document itself and also by copying the text from the sample document into my own and following the steps outlined in the original report. Replication steps: 1. Open sample document titled: Step 1 & 2 Error Report OpenOffice Writer. 2. Make sure you are using inches as the measurement unit. a. Found under: Tools->Options->OpenOffice Writer->General->Settings->Measurement unit. 3. In the Properties sidebar to the right, under Page, click on Margin then select Normal. 4. Input .79 (same as default value already there) in the field corresponding to the Left margin. 5. Hit OK. Following these steps, the text overflows into a new page messing up the format of the original document. Clicking on Normal again under the Margin section in the sidebar will cause the document to return back to the original format. The bug only shows up when changing the Left and Right margins from the Properties sidebar with the Normal option selected. The other margin options, top and bottom, did not result in the bug appearing. I followed the steps while working with the sample document using millimeter, centimeter, pica, and point measurement units and inputting their default values. The bug only appeared when using inches. Additionally, instead of changing the Left Page Margin value from the Properties sidebar as outlined in step 4, I tried changing the margin options from the Page options directly. This can be done by navigating to the margin options by using the menu and clicking Format->Page->Page and finding the Margins section. The bug did not appear using this method. I included a couple additional screenshots showing the before and after effects of the bug, which also show the locations of the margin values to supplement the sample documents already provided. The original screenshot is in an odd format, and I didn’t have a program to open it. Created attachment 85013 [details]
