4 months ago I have a fix for this. The reason why this happens is quite silly, we're not handling lines that are whitespace-only in the custom XML part of the word document. Usually this XML part is not hand-edited but generated by Word, so usually that assumption is fine but in this case the layout has one such line.
A possible workaround to unblock you while we validate and release the fix is to re-create the word layout. That might be faster than waiting for the fix to be released.

1. Describe the bug While compiling a report extension with an existing Layout, the compiler gives the current error: Failure while emitting metadata for object:'ReportExtension gsStandardSalesInvoice' (Length cannot be less than zero. (Parameter 'length')))
2. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
tableextension 60100 gsSalesLine extends "Sales Line" { fields { field(60100; gsUnitPriceAfterDisc; Decimal) { Caption = 'Unit price (after discount)'; DataClassification = CustomerContent; Editable = false; } } } reportextension 60101 gsStandardSalesOrderConf extends "Standard Sales - Order Conf." { WordLayout = './src/layout/gsStandardSalesOrderConf.docx'; dataset { add(Line) { column(gsUnitPriceAfterDisc; gsUnitPriceAfterDisc) { } } } } gsStandardSalesOrderConf.docx
3. Expected behavior Compile and get an updated Dataset in the Word File
4. Actual behavior Getting this error: [Error - 10:30:52 AM] Please report this issue to https://github.com/microsoft/al/issues including information on how to reproduce it, if possible.
