--- Comment #13 from Gordo <gordon1dr...@yahoo.com> ---
This happens because of Tools → Options → LibreOffice Writer → Compatibility →
Add paragraph and table spacing at tops of pages (in current document).  With
it unchecked there is no space before the first paragraph on the first page and
after manual page breaks.

The option to remove the space by changing spacing above a paragraph is always
available but there is no option to have spacing above a paragraph after an
automatic page break. I think a use case exists for wanting a page border and
borders around headings with space between (heresy, shout the naysayers)
without using page spacing to contents.  With no space between the different
borders it does not look aesthicatelly pleasing.

I suppose, in the future, an enhancement could be made to the ODF specification
to have in the Paragraph → Indents & Spacing → Spacing dialogue a checkbox
below "Above paragraph" to "Include spacing at tops of pages".  The default
could be to have it off.  I don't know how that would tie in to compatibility
though.

I suspect the way it is coded now is that the top page margin for the first
page and manual page breaks act like the last paragraph for purpose of spacing.
 Paragraphs after an automatic page break use the last paragraph on the
previous page.  Or it could be that paragraphs after an automatic page break
are told to ignore spacing above altogether.
