Description kubbugrep 2021-10-11 12:40:44 UTC
Created attachment 175666 [details]
document with 6 pages being wrongly numbered as described

After formatting the first page of a document (with lets say 6 pages) as title page (Format -> Title page) including the "Page numbering" option "Reset page numbering after title pages" with "Page number" set to "1" the shown page number is increased by 1, even though the actual number of pages is unchanged.  As expected there is no page number shown on the first page, but the remaining 5 pages will now get numbered as "1 of 7" to "5 of 7".

I would assume a simple sign error in the code, since the shown number of pages is expected to decrease by 1, with the remaining pages being numbered as "1 of 5" to "5 of 5".

Comment 2 Dieter 2021-10-29 08:25:21 UTC
Attached document has two fields on each page from page two on
a) Page Number => it starts with 1 on second page, because first page is title page (expected)
b) Page Count => it shows the total number of pages and therefor includes title page (exected)

Si I would say, that there is no bug but perhaps there should be an option to adjust page count in the fields dialog (tab document -> type "statistics")

Perhaps a duplicate of bug 71583

Your comment a) is absolutely correct and I would also agree, that the best would be an option whether to include non-numbered title pages(s) in the total page count.

But your comment b) is not correct, since there are only 6 pages in total. Therefore according to your comment a) the total number of pages must not exceed 6, without the unnumbered title page even 5, but never 7.

That's the old problem, that LO inserts (invisible) blank page (see bug 117231)

The problem discussed there seems to be slightly different, though perhaps not completely unrelated.
Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2021-11-10 08:42:24 UTC
If you print, the preview shows the actual situation with no number on the title page, followed by a blank page, and then five pages with text. The total number is 7 => NAB.

But let's discuss it on the other bug.
