Description: I dumped out of scribus because it doesn't work. Finishing a three hundred page book in Libreoffice Writer. I've set the page styles for right and left, because when build a pdf for publication, that's utterly important. (Recto and verso) So as I review the book, needing the right side pages to display to the right of the left pages, the pages are reversed. This is because I start with a right page, and by default, the first pages is displayed in the first spot, which in this case, is the left. Now, I could put a blank page before the right page, as a clumsy hack, but I'd rather it just work the way it is supposed to work, that when a page is styled right, it always display to the right of a page styled left. If we could add a "bumper" page, that is for display logistics only, that would be nice. Thank all of you for the work you do. David Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set first page to right page style, cause that's what you do for a book. 2. Following pages automatically toggle left/right/left/.... as they should. 3. Arrange window to fit pages side by side (in this case 6"x9" page size), and they are backwards, putting right styled pages onto the left side. Actual Results: 1. Set first page to right page style, cause that's what you do for a book. 2. Following pages automatically toggle left/right/left/.... as they should. 3. Arrange window to fit pages side by side (in this case 6"x9" page size), and they are backwards, putting right styled pages onto the left side. Expected Results: I expect the right styled page(s) to display on the right side of the left styled pages. Not a crazy thing. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: For something this apparent, I expected to find something that fixed it. I did not, so I'm raising the issue here. Its just a flat out failure. Layout sensitive, yes, but a failure just the same. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

This is a case of not knowing what to do. Having moved from scribus to libre writer, I was not aware of the: "Format" > "Page Style" > "Page Tab" > "Layout Settings" > "Page Layout" = "Right and left" setting. This provides the proper staggered paging. I also had to learn how to change page numbering from one style to another, which is not so obvious. This feature was there the whole time, I just was not yet aware of it. I found it, and this book has since been published.
Ok, Thanks for letting us know. Closing as RESOLVED NOTABUG
