Description christophe.hall@gmail.com 2018-07-27 13:40:23 UTC
Description:
I cannot set 'same content on first page' for header or footer without it affecting the other. In my specific case I want 'same..' checked for header but unchecked for footer. Either this is unexpectedly impossible by design, or there appears to be a bug here. Aside, I have also noticed that setting 'Borders' > 'Style: none' does not save when the Format dialogue box is closed with 'OK'.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Format dialogue box. Mix up settings for header/footer 'same content on first page'.
2. Click OK.
3. Re-open Format dialogue box and review settings.

Actual Results:
It would appear that header and footer settings for 'same content on first page' must match each other.

Expected Results:
I would have expected to be able to set header and footer settings for 'same content on first page' independently.


Reproducible: Always

This is a new feature and will be included in ODF 1.3. The current draft of ODF 1.3 has nothing, that would prevent to have a special first header but a common footer.

There is no such linking for the "same right/left page" setting. Therefore I consider it as bug to have it linked for "first page".
