--- Comment #5 from M. A. Sridhar <m_a_sridhar at yahoo.com> ---
I was the one that reported this bug. I generated this document using some code
that we use for document generation using template expansion. I am not fully
aware of the rules around correct placement of sectPr nodes, and I got to this
point by trial-and-error experiments and reverse-engineering with Word template
expansions. In general, my understanding is that there should be one sectPr
node before each page break (w:br type=page) node. I took the stance of "if it
works with Word, it should work with Libre Writer". Please point me to any
documentation I can get that clearly articulates the rules for correct
placement of sectPr nodes, and I will see if I can abide by the rules.

But more generally,  my biggest concern is that any generated files should be
openable by Word, and I have seen cases where, if I don't insert the sectPr
node the way I have done, Word will not open the document. And having the
ability to use LibreOffice Writer to convert to PDF is crucial to us, so for
now, we have fallen back to using version 5 until this issue is resolved.

If I can provide any more information or help in any way, please let me know.
