Description:

When inserting a page of a different "Style" page numbering breaks with incorrect page count and a skipped page number.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new text document in Libre Office writer. Version 7.0.6.2

2. Use Inset Page break to create 3 blank pages, that will all be in "Default Page" Style.

3. Place the cursor on the Second page.

4. With the cursor on page 2 go to Format/Page style, then on the Organizer Tab Set the Next Page (after "Default Page Style") to "Left Page".

5. The first page is now of Style "First Page" and is Page 1 of 4

6. The second Page is now of style "Default Page" and is Page 2 of 4

7. The Third Page is of style "Left Page" and is Page 4 of 4

PAGE 3 IS SKIPPED, THERE IS NO PAGE 3 of 4


Actual Results:
There are only 3 pages but the program indicates there are 4 with Page 3 of 4 missing

Expected Results:
There should be 3 pages. 1, 2 and 3


Reproducible: Always

I don't reproduce with your steps. But it's well known feature of LO, blank pages when changing style. Please do not submit - your 1st - bug against a well known feature that you need to understand, via Help and User Guide.
