Description: When applying a Side-only page style, e. g. selecting 'Only right' on Page Style > Page > Page layout, page numbers are all odds when continuous numbering was expected. Same with 'Only left', numbering is all even. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create or modify a style so it's only a left/right side page (Page Style > Page > Page layout > Select 'Only left' or 'Only right'). Also activate header or footer. 2. Apply style to page 3. In the activated header or footer, insert Page Number (Insert > Page Number) 4. Insert multiple pages with the same style, via automatic or manual page-break without page numbering change. 5. Observe the odd behaviour. Actual Results: Page numbers where only even for 'Left only' option, or odd for 'Right only'. Expected Results: A continuous numbering.

I confirm it with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d7c609dbb1bd08865b43719d2fb7c316d30bcde5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded But I'm not convinced, that it is a bug. Talking about "right side page" does only make sense, if there is a left side page, too. Pnd therefore pafge numbers 1, 3, 5, ... looks logic to me. But I would pershaps expect, that page numbers in page dialog change to 1, 3, 5, ... Let'S ask desing-team for their opinion and decision
(In reply to Dieter from comment #2) Imma be honest, I don't care about this bug anymore, here's why: Do you see that "See also" up there? That bug 153534. Go read that related report, and the relations to that report. This left-right-page thing is a whole battlefield and the workaround of this is just to tell your printer guy which pages are one-sided and which are double-sided. Tbh, I wouldn't look too much into it. I thank you for the support, anyway, but... just don't waste your time on this.
(In reply to Sebastian from comment #3) > Imma be honest, I don't care about this bug anymore... So let's resolve as Dieter suggests. I can follow his arguments. Feel free to reopen or join the discussion on bug 153534.
