Description whawn 2023-09-21 23:35:26 UTC
Description:
As in title -- it's nearly worthless.  Wants to put number where IT wants, not where *I* want.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use insert page number menu item
2.set the possibilities allowed
3.cuss

Actual Results:
Will not allow me to set the page number where I want it in the header.  Insists on moving other copy around, sometimes off screen entirely. Before this "enhancement" the number was inserted at the cursor position in the header.  Was not exactly ideal, in that, as the number grew, it might crowd off the header and would need adjustment, but was far better than the current thing.  

Expected Results:
That the page number would be where I want it to be.  


Reproducible: Always

You can still use Insert - Field - Page Number, so what is the problem?
