Description mango wodzak 2021-05-03 19:04:09 UTC

Description:
I have a 390 page document. When I update the index -T.O.C. the number of pages increases. Not always by the same amount, sometimes 402 pages, sometimes 404..

What happens within the document is that random paragraphs in the middle of a page, are moved to the beginning of a new page. thus the number of pages in the doc increases.

This is very frustrating as I can no longer get my table of contents to match the actual page numbers of chapters and headings.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. My .odt file is 390 pages.
2. I go to the T.O.C. right click, and press "update index"


Actual Results:
After updating the T.O.C, the .odt file becomes 400+ pages with some paragraphs moved to the top of a new page.

With one document I have, this happens every single time I try to update the T.O.C.. 

IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS WITH EVERY DOCUMENT, BUT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO FRAMES PRESENT WITHIN THE DOCUMENT..

Expected Results:
I Expect for the TOC to be updated, and for the number of pages to stay at 390 and not increase.


Reproducible: Sometimes

cannot update TOC without adding pages.

i'm unable to update the toc in this doc without causing extra pages to be added and upsetting the format of the book..

This seems to be fine in LO 7.1.4.2, please retest with a more recent version.

Thanks Aron.. 

OK.. I just tried opening it with 7.1.4.2
I clicked update index, and the number of pages remained steady at 390.. as it should..

However.. when i cleanly open the attached file, it shows there:

155604 words
913163 characters..

then after I hit "update index", the count changes to:

23588 words
134055 characters..

but the page count stays at 390..

something glitchy going on there..
