Writer file: problem with headers

Version: 6.4.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: b0a288ab3d2d4774cb44b62f04d5d28733ac6df8
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Open the attached writer file. The page style is set to "Default." Note that the header are set to give a different content for left and right pages, and for the first page. They read "1st", "2nd", "3rd".

1. Click on the first page and then double-click the "Chapter 1" page style. Note that this has been set up exactly the same as the "Default" page style.

Expected result: Exactly the same headers, i.e.: "1st", "2nd", "3rd".
Actual result: The headers have all reverted to the first page header.

3. Save, close and reload the file.

Result: The headers correct themselves

Hmm - true ever since6.0 when first-headers were introduced for ODT.

tdf#109080 First page header/footer ODF (1/2)

I'm assuming this must be a layout issue. It seems to work fine when saving as DOC format. If the page size or orientation changes, then it works better - although no always perfect. Switching to web view and back "fixes" it.
