--- Comment #4 from Jocsan Macias <ma...@my.fit.edu> ---
System configuration:

OpenOffice Writer Version 4.2.0 
AOO420m1(Build:9800)  -  Rev. 1692551
Windows 10 Home Edition
4th Generation Intel® Mobile Core i7-4710MQ Haswell Processor
16GB RAM 64-bit Operating System

I was unable to reproduce the bug with my own document and text. However, I
successfully replicated the bug with the sample document itself and also by
copying the text from the sample document into my own and following the steps
outlined in the original report.

Replication steps:

1. Open sample document titled: Step 1 & 2 Error Report OpenOffice Writer.
2. Make sure you are using inches as the measurement unit. 
   a. Found under: Tools->Options->OpenOffice
Writer->General->Settings->Measurement            unit.
3. In the Properties sidebar to the right, under Page, click on Margin then
select Normal.
4. Input .79 (same as default value already there) in the field corresponding
to the Left margin. 
5. Hit OK.

Following these steps, the text overflows into a new page messing up the format
of the original document. Clicking on Normal again under the Margin section in
the sidebar will cause the document to return back to the original format. The
bug only shows up when changing the Left and Right margins from the Properties
sidebar with the Normal option selected. The other margin options, top and
bottom, did not result in the bug appearing. 

I followed the steps while working with the sample document using millimeter,
centimeter, pica, and point measurement units and inputting their default
values. The bug only appeared when using inches. 

Additionally, instead of changing the Left Page Margin value from the
Properties sidebar as outlined in step 4, I tried changing the margin options
from the Page options directly. This can be done by navigating to the margin
options by using the menu and clicking Format->Page->Page and finding the
Margins section. The bug did not appear using this method.

I included a couple additional screenshots showing the before and after effects
of the bug, which also show the locations of the margin values to supplement
the sample documents already provided. The original screenshot is in an odd
format, and I didn’t have a program to open it.
