Indeed something is wrong. Reproduced under Ubuntu 11.10 with LO 3.5.0 and LO 3.5.2 rc0+ (LibreOffice 3.5.2rc0+ Version ID : 369aea7-720bbeb-73cb0b8-f269e46-0843e11)

Cédric: please could you have a look ? Please feel free to reassign if you can't handle this.

Best regards. JBF

Still not right.

Set up:
1. New Text Document.
2. Type “test1” and Enter.
3. Type “test2” and Enter.
4. Type “test3” and Enter.
5. Insert Header, Default Style, and type “Test Header”.
6. Place cursor in “test2” and insert page break before.
Result:
You should now have “test1” on page 1 and “test2” and “test3” on page 2.

Cursor in header:
1. Place cursor in header.
2. Hover mouse over page break and click Edit Page Break.
3. In Text Flow tab, change break Type from Page to Column.
4. Click on the With page style checkbox to clear blue box.
5. Check With page style checkbox; Default Style appears in Type.
Result:
Right click on paragraph with page break, Paragraph → Text Flow, now has page style.  If the page style is changed to First Page, then page 2 now has First Page style instead of page 1.


Cursor in any paragraph except the one with the page break:
1. Place cursor in paragraph “test2”.
2. Hover mouse of page break and click Edit Page Break.
3. In Text Flow tab, check Insert checkbox.
4. Check With page style checkbox; Default Style appears in Type.
5. Change style to First Page.
Result:
Page 2 now has First Page style.  The same result happens if you change the paragraph properties in the paragraph with the page break.  If you change the paragraph properties on any paragraph but the one with page break (“test3”) and modify it to insert a page break before with First Page style, then the new page will have the First Page style and not the one before it.

Please ignore comment 4.  I must have been in a different state of mind at the time.

Original steps still reproducible.

The page break can be altered, in a roundabout way, with the cursor in the header:
1. New Text Document.
2. Insert → Header.
3. Place cursor in body and Insert → Manual Break and OK default.
Note:
There are now two pages with Default Style.
4. Place cursor in header and hover mouse over page break to get purple popover and select Edit Page Break.
5. Change to Text Flow tab (due to other bug that opens to Indents & Spacing), change Break Type from Page to Column.
6. Click on the With page style checkbox to clear blue box and then check With page style checkbox; Default Style appears.
7. Change from Default Style to First Page and OK.
Result:
Second page has been changed successfully to First Page style.

The page break can be altered with the cursor in a paragraph other than the first:
8. On the second page, enter some empty paragraphs.
9. Place cursor on the second page in any paragraph except the first and hover mouse over page break to get purple popover and select Edit Page Break.
10. Change to Text Flow tab and check Insert checkbox.
11. Check With page style checkbox and change from Default Style to First Page and OK.
Result:
Second page has been changed successfully to Default Style style.

When opening a new document the blank page doesn't show a curser.

Sorry, off topic. That said I do not reproduce that with LibreOffice 24.8. Please open a new bug report if you have the problem with an up-to-date version.
