Description: According to the documentation, there should be a page number wizard in LibreOffice Writer 7.6, but it's not there. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Insert > Page Number: there is no page number wizard. 2. Go to Insert > Field > Page Number: there is no page number wizard. Actual Results: A page number is simply added to the page. Expected Results: The should be a page number wizard to choose between different settings according to the documentation, in particular the release notes for LibreOffice 7.6: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.6 In LibreOffice Help, they mention a dialog, which I can't find: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/swriter/guide/pagenumbers.html Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.6.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 69edd8b8ebc41d00b4de3915dc82f8f0fc3b6265 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
My suspicion is that you have modified your menu, and that prevents it from showing changes introduced in later versions. Please test using safe mode - if it works then, then you might want to reset your user profile (and loose your customizations). This would be tdf#156743 then.
Thank you! I had no idea this could happen. Eventually, I went to Tools > Customize and then I clicked on "Reset". Unfortunately, I've lost my settings, but it's not a big deal. Should I do the reset button every time there's a big update, like between 7.4 and 7.5, or between 7.5 and 7.6? I presume you don't have to do it between minor versions (like between 7.5.1 and 7.5.2, for example). Thanks again!

You should only do it when you want to lose all your custom menu settings :-) But yeah, normally there aren't many menu changes after x.y.0. Hmm - I wonder if this reset does the same "bad" thing that notebookbar did (bug 148121) - copy the default overtop of a user profile? It would be better if it simply deleted the user profile file. No, it looks good. It appears that cui/source/customize/cfg.cxx calls GetConfigManager()->removeSettings for MenuSaveInData::Reset. I confirmed that reset removed menubar.xml from instdir/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/menubar. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 156743 ***
This has been marked as the duplicate of a bug, so I understand it's considered undesired behaviour. I wish it can be fixed because it's a nuisance to have to reset parts of LibreOffice in order to access to new features. I would have never known about the page number wizard if I hadn't read the release notes for version 7.6, which is something that most users don't do, I presume. In any case, thanks again for all the help!
