            Bug ID: 140087
           Summary: Writer: Adding lines with accurate position is
                    unreliable
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I have been trying to create a document which will ultimately be used as a
template fed into PHPOffice. As part of the document I tried adding lines using
the Insert Line button and positioning them accurately. Their position on the
page is important. During the operation all looks good and I can use the
dialogue to position the line where I want and select the Protect position and
size options.

If I then close Writer, and re-open the file, the lines have moved. In some
extreme examples, I had lines change from being vertically oriented down the
page borders to horizontal running across the middle of the page!

I am using Version: 6.4.6.2
Build ID: 1:6.4.6-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

I have also installed and tried using version 7.0.4 but it exhibited the same
issue.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document
2. Use the Insert Line button and add a line
3. Use the Position and size dialogue to accurately position the line, say down
the left-hand page text area, choose Protect Position
4. Right-click on the line and choose Arrange->Send to Back
5. Save the document and close LibreOffice.
6. Re-open the document and the line will not be in exactly the same position.
4. Add some more content to the document like tables or frames.

Actual Results:
The lines move

Expected Results:
The lines should not move.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No
