Description Clemens Prill 2017-12-08 13:45:53 UTC

Description:
I can't add a title page if I have a ToC in my document.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Writer document
2. Add a ToC to your first page
3. Move your cursor under your generated ToC
4. Choose Format > Title Page/Front Page
5. Choose option to create new page at beginning of document, not transforming current page into a ToC

Actual Results:  
The new first page is a ToC and belongs to the ToC on page two. It looks like my previous existing ToC got extended to both pages.

Expected Results:
I would expect first page to be my title page/front page and my second page to be the ToC.


Reproducible: Always

If you add the TOC in another line than the first line of a page, you can change the page to a title page or you can add a manual page break. This could be a workaround.

There was another bug some weeks ago about adding a page break, if a TOC is at the beginning of a page. I can't find it, but I think, that your bug is a special case of this bug.

Comment 2 Clemens Prill 2017-12-08 14:35:25 UTC

I can't add a page break before my ToC because page break is denied when cursor is inside ToC, maybe related to #114067. How can I achieve a workaround for just now?

Comment 3 Dieter 2017-12-08 16:09:39 UTC

Yes that was the bug I had in my mind. Actually I have no idea how to deal with the situation, that the TOC is already at the head of the first page.

Comment 4 Clemens Prill 2017-12-08 16:12:21 UTC

I was able to work around this by removing any table I had from first page, inserted a title page and then put all my tables back on page two. This isn't a comfortable workaround but better than beginning a new document with copy & pasting from the old one.
