--- Comment #2 from Luke Kendall <luke at zeta.org.au> ---
Sorry, I dispute this.  Since when is a non breaking space a page break?

I never inserted any of these page breaks, and the idea of literally inserting
a "soft" page break just because the page style changes seems ludicrous to me.

The reason for changing page styles is that typically in a book, pages that
start a new chapter are formatted differently (e.g., no header and /or footer).
 And if this ludicrous behaviour was correct, then LO would be causing this
unwanted behaviour after every new-chapter page, not just on those where the
end of a paragraph happens to fall at the end of the page.

Note that I tried the experiment, before submitting the bug, of deleting the
end-of-line after "pans and pots." and then hitting Enter, and re-saving as a
.docx: LO re-introduced the invisible page break.  I certainly didn't insert
and soft page breaks!  Doing that would be most unwise, since any editing of
the document would change the layout of many pages and ruin the formatting.

I also did not suffer this problem until recently.  So it seems to be new
behaviour with LO 5.4.2 or thereabouts.  It was not a problem with my previous
two books over the last two years, nor this third book until I tried to update
it this month.

In my opinion this IS a bug, and a serious one.

Please re-check.

If it is a new feature, and it is the way LO will be from now on, then I'll
know to finally give up on LO and switch over to an alternative, like WPS, or
run MS Office running under Wine.  Or try the Apache fork.

Please investigate further.
