--- Comment #6 from bart-dn at tushmail.com ---
I can confirm this, but I noticed something extra.

The 5 lines don't seem to loose their frame as a result of deleting the text on
page 1, but as a result of saving the DOCX document as ODT. Also, I don't think
that the frame is gone. 

After saving the document as ODT and opening it again, I tried to click the
edges of the frame where I thought the edges were. That showed the markers of
the frame. Then I right-clicked one of the markers and "Line ...". 
Please compare images
   DocumentAsDOCX-VisibleFrame-Properties-LO64.png
and
   DocumentAsODT-HiddenFrame-Properties-LO64.png

The frame is still there, just no longer visible, because the "Style" is "none"
in both cases. I think it's just displayed differently for DOCX documents and
ODT documents. I wonder if the LibreOffice team or the OpenOffice team made a
choice in the past to do it this way.

Personally I'd like to see it if something is there. That's why I changed the
"Status" to "New" and the "Importance" to "medium/enhancement". As a user, I
find it confusing that I can see hidden frames in DOCX documents, but not in
ODT documents.

I'm not saying that this should be changed, but can we have a reaction from the
LibreOffice team?

I may chime in back later in case I get a nice suggestion of how to show hidden
frames.

PS: I'm not a developer. I'm a user myself and I submitted a few bug reports.
I'm trying to confirm the bugs that other people reported here.
