Description: I use "Set Page Variable" in the header of the first page of each chapter in my books, and "Show Page Variable" in the headers of subsequent pages, in order to display the page number within the chapter. Each "chapter" is an .odt file imported into a .odm master document. (The absolute page number within the book is displayed in the footer.) This has worked fine in all versions before version 7.x, but it does not work in 7.x -- "Show Page Variable" shows nothing. Steps to Reproduce: See description and attached example. Actual Results: Header shows: "1-" on all pages of chapter. Expected Results: Header should show: "1-1" on first page of chapter, and "1-2" on second page, etc. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version 7.0.4.2 Build: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=log;h=dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 Environment: CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4
Created attachment 168953 [details] Example of master document that illustrates the problem
I've tried to open attachment from comment 1, but recieved the following message: "The file 'ExampleBook.zip' is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. LibreOffice can try to repair the file." David, could you please check the attachment?
Confirmed with the document. Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: dcce840cb2383873cc77da04b0bdc4526042c212 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Built on 14 February 2021
I downloaded the attachment and did not find the zip file to be corrupt.
Bibisected with linux-64-7.0 to https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/aeab7de4cd2975b90d07d8b32d51efd953bbff3c and found your older report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 134283 ***
Does that mean it will be fixed in an upcoming release?
(In reply to David Burleigh from comment #6) > Does that mean it will be fixed in an upcoming release? No, you have to wait until bug 134283 is fixed.
