Christopher Barrington-Leigh (cpbl) wrote : Libreoffice writer: no horizontal spacing of labels

Please see screenshot.
 From Writer, I chose new->labels and then chose the Avery letter-sized template 5167 to print out some address labels.

The settings shown look correct for the physical sheet, but the layout shown (test test test) and its printed version have no spacing at all between the columns. That is, in the layout note the difference between horizontal pitch and horizontal width. This is not reflected in what Libreoffice actually draws.
This bug makes the whole labels facility useless.

The labels should be rendered according to the settings and diagram shown.

I have no workaround.
