I think you're referring to LibreOffice Writer specifically; I've set
the Package field accordingly.

To attempt to reproduce this behaviour in libreoffice-writer version
“1:5.0.3~rc1-2”, I used:

* File → New → Labels
  * Labels → Brand → Avery Letter Size
  * Labels → Type → 5160 Address
  * New Document

  A new blank document appears with the selected layout.

* Enter text on each label across the top row.
* File → Print Preview

  The document print preview has text that appears spaced correctly
  across the page.

  * Close Preview

* File → Export as PDF
  * Export
  * Select a filename, then Save

The Writer document, and the resulting PDF, are attached to this message.

Thank you both for reporting this behaviour.

Can you verify this with a LibreOffice version in currently-supported
Debian? Please follow up to this bug report with the appropriate
“found” or “fixed” field value for the versions you tried.
