Bug#678813: libreoffice-writer: multi-column label forms not laid out properly



I don't think I have trouble with this anymore.

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.

but they didn't print properly. The printing shifted left on each
subsequent column of labels. The label form was defined properly. I
verified this by measuring the actual labels on the form.

I can confirm this bug with Avery Letter Size 5160, LibreOffice Writer
3.5.4.2. I thought the settings for Avery 5160 must be incorrect, so I
adjusted them for 2 hours without being able to get the 3rd column to print
far enough to the right to be fully on the label.

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.
