Description FL 2020-05-14 02:31:21 UTC
Description:
In a large document, greater than 1800 pages with over 8 M characters, changing the Left Page Header affects the Right Page Header, this bug has been in the previous versions as well.  This does not occur in a small document.  This obviously affects the display of the content of the headers but it does show correctly in the print .  This was tried in one particular document, I did not produce another large document to test it.  I assume it can be reproduced.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a large document, preferably multilingual, with over 8 M characters, and lots of links, over 1800 pages of 11 x 17 inches
2.Change header formatting to have different Left and Right formatting
3.Copy a table (to make it interesting) into the left header, and into the right header, then attempt to change the Left header format via the context menu under the Left header by increasing the Height, with all boxes unchecked. Click Apply, the result is reflected in the right Header instead of the Left header.  Doing the same on the Right header does the change correctly.

Actual Results:
The Left header format pointer is messed up and cannot be restored unless making the Left and Right the same.

Expected Results:
Tried printing the page and the information is there but the display is incorrect.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Context menu for Left and Right Header should conform to the corresponding Header.

Not sure, if there is somebody who likes to create such a huge document for bug testing, so it could be more effective to provide such a document.
