Description mc.wikipediano 2024-03-17 07:25:14 UTC
Description:
When creating or editing a paragraph template and setting a page number in "Text Flow" / "Breaks", an incorrect page number is shown using "Page number" field.

Using "Format" - "Paragraph" - "Text Flow" tab, the page number is shown correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new paragraph style and in "Text Flow" / "Breaks" check "Insert" with
"Type" = "page", set a Page Style and set "Page Number" to a number N
2. Apply this template to a paragraph

Actual Results:
If the number N is even, an even number is shown (but not necessarily the number N), otherwise an odd number is shown

Expected Results:
The number N should be shown as the page number of the new page


Reproducible: Always

Thank you for reporting the bug. 

I'm not able to reproduce this as I'm not quite sure what to look out for. Could you please provide a screenshot and a file demonstrating the bug?

If the number N is even, an even number is shown where?

I found that if I created 3 pages, and applied the steps to reproduce and set the number N to 8, it considers page 3 as page 4.

I've attached an ODT file and an image to illustrate the problem I'm having: the page number doesn't match the expected number when applying a paragraph style that sets the page number.
Using the "A Set Page 7" style on the second page results in the page numbered "3" instead of "7"; using the "A Set Page 10" style on the next page, the page is treated as numbered "4" instead of "10".

I was able to reproduce the bug using the test file you provided. I also encountered similar behavior when I reproduced the steps provided. An even page number only shows an even number N and an odd page number only shows an odd number N. If a page number is odd/even and the number is even/odd, the page number goes back a page. For example, when I tried changing page 11 to page 12, the page number changed to page 10 instead. Everything was tested on MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 running on my M2 Pro Chip MacBook Pro.
