snapshot of the unexploitable Format - Page window for a html type document

At the beginning of this year (into februari) when doing a Format - Page on a html type document one got a window very similar as when doing the same on a text type document

Comment 5 Gerard van der Veen 2014-05-31 20:34:55 UTC
there is some change: now libreoffice-writer stays up when doing a Format - Page on a html type document, but the window that pops up is not what it should be.
The window just has part of the main window header with some distortion like a double set of similar icons (that do not respond) and there are no tabs for page format options.
Conclusion: there is still a problem

I will try to add a snapshot of the Page - Format window as attachment

Comment 6 Gerard van der Veen 2014-06-02 12:56:44 UTC
The current version 4.2.4.2 compiled for PortableApps for MSWindows has the original problem (the crash) which proofs the problem to be independent from Fedora/RedHat

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2014-06-05 12:50:04 UTC
crud, I was looking at format page in web layout mode of a normal document, not in format page of html document.

Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2014-06-05 12:55:54 UTC
*mumble*, that was dumb. Should be good in libreoffice-4.2.4.2-18.fc20

Comment 11 Gerard van der Veen 2014-06-11 12:07:21 UTC
the two successive problems are gone. OK

Note: 'yum update etc' as indicated ended with the message that libreoffice-4.2.4.2-18.fc20 was available but that nothing was set for update; using 'yum install etc' did in fact an update.....

Comment 12 Fedora Update System 2014-06-12 06:22:22 UTC
libreoffice-4.2.4.2-18.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
