So you mean if you have a real number of 5 page, it displays 10 in the status bar?

I tried, but I could not reproduce the problem. Maybe include a minimal test case.

Please attach example documents.
Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the documents.

it's twice -1 . Files are enclosed.

Comment 6 Buovjaga 2018-07-17 10:09:35 UTC

Do you mean the "(page 1)" that is after every page count, when you go beyond page 1? So we see "Page 41 of 41 (page 1)".

Comment 7 kabilo 2018-07-17 10:58:26 UTC

The source database (biblio) has 21 records. Attached files show 41 pages but contains only 21 pages. Only odd page numbers are displayed on taskbar when you browse the file.

Damn, I did not notice it. Now I see I could reproduce the problem already in my comment 1.

I will investigate more.

Comment 9 Buovjaga 2018-07-17 11:47:31 UTC

Ah, it is not a bug: Writer assumes every first page is numbered odd

To get where this is coming from:
1. Hover your mouse over a page break in the document
2. Click the widget and "Edit page break"
3. See how it has "Page number: 1" checked
