As I said, I will. Fixing the bug is good for LibreOffice in general. But for your specific case, it would be much more useful to change the method: as @ajlittoz explained, you better use tables for this. The idea of using columns (a layout specifically designed for text filling and flowing from column 1 to column 2 then to column 3 then ⊠then to page 2âŠ) is 100% different from what you use (tabular layout, where rows consist of cells, and all cells in a row are related to each other, and the next row has a new set of data; the horizontal row of cells could itself span several pages, or start at the bottom of page 2, and end at the top of page 3). Using a hammer as a screwdriver replacement is always a possibility; and all the hammersâ defects that you notice in the process, of course, need to be addressed; but even when we made our hammer perfect, it does not become a screwdriver (or else, we would break the direct purpose of hammerâs existence / its usefulness for the purpose). E.g., adding some more data on page 3 would make your life a disaster on all following pages, where you would have to move all lines of text, which suddenly stop aligning correctly - esp. across pages.
⊠or I could completely misunderstand your layout. To be honest, I do not understand, where should I read immediately after the last line in column 2 of page 3: should I continue at the first line of column 3 on the same page, or at line 23 of column 3 on the same page (where âIII Schwellwerk (18)â is), or on the first line of column 2 on page 4? Maybe the correct answer is âcontinue at the first line of column 3 on the same pageâ. Then my idea of changing the tool could not apply to your case. If your layout is columnar in nature, then sorry for the noise, and stay tuned for the fix.
