Description NISZ LibreOffice Team 2021-06-11 08:32:33 UTC

Created attachment 172798 [details]
attachment 86234 [details] after enabling the hidden footer, then the hidden header - good

This is a followup to bug #69635
When a Word document with hidden header/footer of even page type is opened, enabling both the header/footer sometimes does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1.	Open attachment 86234 [details] 
2.	Go to Format – Page Style - Header
3.	Uncheck “Same content on left and right pages”
4.	Press Apply. The second pages header is changed to the green “EVEN header”
5.	Go to the Footer tab in the same dialog
6.	Uncheck “Same content on left and right pages”
7.	Press Apply. The second pages footer does NOT change to the green “EVEN header”
8.	Reload the file
9.	Go to Format – Page Style – Footer 
10.	Uncheck “Same content on left and right pages”
11.	Press Apply. The second pages footer now DOES change to the green “EVEN header”
12.	Go to the Header tab
13.	Uncheck “Same content on left and right pages”
14.	Press Apply. The second pages header is changed to the green “EVEN header”

Actual results:
As above.

Expected results:
The second pages hidden header/footer changes regardless of the order of turning off the “Same content on left and right pages” checkbox.

Dear NISZ LibreOffice Team,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
