            Bug ID: 143770
           Summary: Imported file with graphics and text not displaying
                    properly
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: paulsutton at disroot.org

Description:
Using LibreOffice 7.0 under Debian 11,  I was sent a .docx file of a flyer that
contains both text and graphics,  in the top part of this, should be the event
title, however the text displayed seems to also include text from previous
incarnations of the flyer. 

The library do seem to be having similar issues with the Online version of MS
office.  The files display in their local install of MS office (version they
are using unknown) so they can download and open fine.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open file in writer
2.  With this particular file (or similar files of different flyers) I get the
same issue,  I have linked to my blog post below which also links to two
different files,  which both display in the same way. 
3.

Actual Results:
The document is an event flyer, the top part has the title of the event.  In
this case the titles of other events are also displayed together, which should
not happen. 

Expected Results:
I would expect a title to display and not parts of a previous document that are
I guess cached within the file.  Not sure on the right terminology here, but
clearly the old parts are still there.  Maybe part of the clipboard area for
copy paste, not sure. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I have created a blog post below

https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/libreoffice-7-file-open-with-contentproblem

With details,   to the files that are problematic,  and screenshots of the
output plus a picture of what should be displayed (this is just a png file) 

Also included a screenshot showing the version of LibreOffice I amusing from
the Help -> about box. 

I am not sure if this is happening on ALL versions of Linux. 

I shared the above on Mastodon, partly to ask if anyone else had the same
issue..I was advised to file a bug report.  I think one other person tried this
and got a similar result.
