Description Clemens Prill 2017-11-26 17:10:52 UTC
Description:
A new line is inserted instead of a new page break. This seems unexpected behavior to me but I'm not very sure if this is intended.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document with a heading
2. Add capital numbers
3. Go to first character in line of heading so that the chapter number is selected and becomes gray
4. press CTRL + ENTER to create a new pagebreak

Actual Results:  
A new line is added, not a new pagebreak.

Expected Results:
A pagebreak is inserted.


Reproducible: Always

I confirm this and also think that this is an inconsistent behaviour.

Comment 3 Clemens Prill 2017-11-26 18:57:43 UTC
I have a similar issue to this reported one: I also can't add a pagebreak if I try to do it while I have any kind of index selected like table of content. This is an issue to me because I don't know how I can insert a new page as first page if the current first page is a page with a table of content and thus I can't type or insert anything before this index.

This could be related and thus fixed altogether.
Comment 4 Dieter 2017-11-26 19:12:42 UTC
There should only be one issue in a bug report. So I propose to open an new bug report for the second issue you mentioned. You can "connect" those two bugs, if you add the bug number in the field "See Also".
Comment 5 Clemens Prill 2017-11-26 19:26:27 UTC
I think that both case have the same cause: In both cases the pagebreak is not working when a special field is selected (like chapter number or table of content). Thus I would expect a bugfix which takes care of this in a more general approach, not just pagebreak while chapter number is selected.

If you think this could be two causes and it is not directly related to each other, just tell me. I will create a new issue then like you said.
Comment 6 Dieter 2017-11-30 20:45:54 UTC
I can add a page break at the beginning of a TOC, but it is part of the TOC. So I think it might be the problem, that you can't add a line before the TOC.

I'm not a developer, so I can't assess, if both problems can be solved together.

Comment 8 Dieter 2018-12-09 08:49:30 UTC
Still repro in 

Version: 6.2.0.0.beta1 (x64)
Build ID: d1b41307be3f8c19fe6f1938cf056e7ff1eb1d18
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document with a heading
2. Add chapter numbering
3. Go to beginning of the heading line (in 6.2.0.0 chapter number is not grey, but that might be another bug)
4. press CTRL + ENTER to create a new pagebreak

Actual Results:  
A new line is added, not a new pagebreak.

Expected Results:
A pagebreak is inserted.

Additional information: If set cursor befor the first charakter of the heading (without headng number) a page break is set.

repro 7.2+

I can't imagine these two situations would share code, so they would be separate issues (although I wouldn't bother creating a separate report).

Extremely minor, and extremely edge case. Also easy to work around.
TOC: just delete the TOC, and some space, and re-add TOC (easy if you haven't customized the TOC).
HEADING: press Ctrl-Enter at the beginning of the paragraph, not before the numbering. Or press Enter as you did to get an empty paragraph, press Ctrl-Enter there, and then delete the empty paragraph again.
