Description canned 2021-02-22 12:38:13 UTC 
Description:
Page numbering incorrect when a document starts from 4, for example, and a page break is inserted

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open LO
- Cursor in first line, right click, choose "Paragraph > Paragraph".
- In the popup choose tab "Textflow", select "Insert" -> With page style "Standard" -> With page number 4. Close the popup with "ok".
- In the lower left corner is now "Page 2 of 2 (Page 4)", although only 1 page exists/is visible.
- Save the document and close LO
- Open the just saved document with LO. In the lower left corner it now says "Page 1 of 1 (Page 4)".

Actual Results:
Number of pages are incorrectly indicated as 2, even though only 1 exists. If I save the document, close LO and open the document again with LO, the number of pages is given as 1, which is correct

Expected Results:
Total nNumber of pages in above example should always be specified correctly as 1


Reproducible: Always

This is a "book view" thing. Look at the bottom (right beside zoom) to switch into book view. Odd numbers are on the right and even numbers are on the left. So before your "page 4" you get a blank page.

The bug is that on a reload your page 4 (an even page) is on the right, when it is supposed to be on the left.
