Description josterburg 2021-05-23 17:09:44 UTC

Description:
If I convert the first page to a title page so the second page is shown as page number 1 the count of all pages increases by one. This makes no sense because there are still as many pages as before.

This bug seems to be many years old.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create 2 pages
2. add footer with page number and page count
3. convert the first page to a title page and let the next page get counted as page number 1

Actual Results:
The total page count increased by one, even if there are exactly as many pages as before.

Expected Results:
total page count should stay the same.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This bug seems to be extremely old I remember it being like this at least since 3 years and on many different installations.
It is still the same issue with version 7.x

This is about "automatically inserted blank page" on which there were many bugs, like 52316.
It will not be simply "fixed", just learn about it and use to your advantage.
I'll mark duplicate of existing open bug 126284.
