Bug Description
When I have multiple .txt files on the command line and start libreoffice writer, it adds (many) blank pages to the documents. These blanks contain nothing at all and I have not figured out how to remove them. But they are included when I print them.
I'm attaching a file on which this happens. It contains an anonymized fragment of the original, repeates a number of times. I suggest you create two copies, called perhaps junk1.txt and junk2.txt.
I use the command "soffice junk*" to load them into the writer, and I get the extra blank pages.
If, however, I just do soffice junk1.txt, I get a document of the correct size.
I can do that of course, but it is still an annoying and inconvenient error for my workflow.
---
One hint to debugging: if I do this:
for i in junk1.txt junk2.txt
do
soffice $i &
done
I see the problem. If, however, I introduce a delay the problem does not appear. Like so:
for i in junk1.txt junk2.txt
do
sleep 2
soffice $i &
done

I can reliably reproduce the problem, and indeed waiting for some time (sleep 2) in between doesn't exhibit the problem. /bugs.documentf oundation. org/enter_ bug.cgi? product= LibreOffice& format= guided and sharing the link to it here? Thanks!
This seems to be an upstream bug, would you mind filing it at https:/
