            Bug ID: 125235
           Summary: FORMATTING: Text wrapping goes bonkers for page widths
                    48 inches and greater
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sam at worldsday.org

Description:
Page widths equal to or greater than 48 inches cause text wrapping in
LibreOffice Writer to break. The issue reliably seems to happen somewhere
between 47" and 48".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Writer document with a few paragraphs of text
2. Goto Format > Page > Paper Format
3. Increase the page width to 46 inches and apply
4. what
5. why
6. this is terrible

Actual Results:
All text on the page seems to get wrapped by margins that aren't there. The
resulting layout is absurdly narrow and there is no apparent fix other than to
work at a width of 47" instead of 48"

Expected Results:
The user should at least hit a hard limit on page width before this happens! I
don't think 48 inches is an edge case, though. I'm designing a scientific
poster!


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
