On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't reproduce this.

Do you reproduce this with a brand new file?
Comment 2 Cor Nouws 2013-12-07 22:27:36 UTC
@ Al Maloney : pls attach your (test) file.

I noticed this during opening:
warn:unotools.misc:12577:1:unotools/source/misc/mediadescriptor.cxx:744: caught Exception "an error occurred during file opening" while opening <file:///home/julien/compile-libreoffice/Library/Application%20Support/LibreOfficeDev/4/user/template/AM_Num.ott>

Would it be possible you attach the template too?
Do you reproduce the problem without using this template?

Affected template

Mea culpa!

The problem lies in my templates.
I removed the Library->Application Support->LibreOfficeDev directory.
I then restarted LibreOfficeDev 4.2.0 beta 2 to create a new directory.
The problem did not occur in new documents but persisted in existing documents.

Most of the templates (at least 12) in my original Library->Application Support->LibreOfficeDev directory reproduce the numbering problem. A few do not.

This frightens me.
What can I do for the 1000+ affected documents that I have (when I want to migrate to LibreOffice 4.2)?
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2013-12-08 08:34:10 UTC
There's some doc here https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/3/35/WG40-WriterGuideLO.pdf about Writer and more specifically the templates.
It talks about an extension "Template Changer" but this one is not compatible anymore with LO 4
So I've no idea.

Michael: any suggestion?
Comment 7 Julien Nabet 2013-12-08 08:39:08 UTC
Andre: I just noticed you're the author of the Template Manager extension so I thought this tracker might interest you.

v4.2.0.0.beta2
Win7 64b

The same issue with my customized default template (and all documents, based on this template). Page numbering works fine from v3.3.0 to v4.1.3.2), page numbering begins now with zero in v4.2.0.0.beta2.


Another example:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide
WG4017-KeyboardShortcuts.odt

Open the attached WG4017-KeyboardShortcuts.odt with v4.1.3.2:
the last page number is 16

Open the attached WG4017-KeyboardShortcuts.odt with v4.2.0.0.beta2:
the last page number is 12,
original page number 3 → now page number 0
original page number 4 → now page number 0
original page number 5 → now page number 1
etc.

See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60592#c8

template-changer-1.2.7b.oxt 
works fine for me in v4.1.3.2/v4.1.4.1, no success in v4.2.0.0.beta2.
Comment 12 Al Maloney 2013-12-11 09:34:50 UTC
The priority and severity should be increased from medium/normal.
This is a show-stopper for anyone who has page numbers in their documents.
It also affects the Guide documentation.

Added to Bug 65675 LibreOffice 4.2 most annoying bugs:

Nominating Bug 72452 - Other: Page Number begins at 0.

Just compare the different page numbering in the recently published "LibreOffice 4.1 Draw Guide", DG41-DrawGuideLO.odt[1] – at first with LO v4.1.3.2 (correct), and then with LO-Dev v4.2.0.0.beta2 (messed up).

page field type "previous" with offset 1

Introducing number 0 as regular page number breaks the method to get a first page without page number, which is described in the specification part 1 section 19.863.3
<quote>
Note: To display the current page number on all pages except the first or last page, use a combination of the text:select-page and text:page-adjust attributes.
</quote>

In LO4.3 the number is displayed on the first page too, in LO4.1 it is not displayed.
Comment 15 Al Maloney 2013-12-13 02:07:22 UTC
My son, who is a programmer, asks if this is a C++ issue since numbering begins with 0 in C++. If so, he suggests that it might take 15 seconds to solve the problem.
Comment 16 Julien Nabet 2013-12-13 06:22:56 UTC
Al: indeed LO is mainly made with C++.

If he thinks to solve it in 15 seconds, great!

Comment 17 pierre-yves samyn 2013-12-14 11:06:54 UTC
Hello

My observations are the following:
- The problem does not occur only on the first page
- It occurs when inserting a page break with "Page style" change and continuous numbering (see screenshot)

In the WG3617-KeyboardShortcuts the "Contents" paragraph applies "OOoFrontMatter" style.

A simpler example in the PageNumber attached document.

Reproduce on windows 7/64 &

    fdo#44689: fix for specific case of page restart-value 0
    
    This bug fix is for roundtripping a DOCX that has
    a specific 'start value' for the page numbers.
    In most cases LO imports it ok.
    However - until now - Word allowed you to start page number
    from 0, while LO only allowed starting page numbers from 1.
    This was because the 'start value' was stored in an 'unsigned int',
    and the value '0' was used to mark 'there is no start value'.
    This patch changes the way the 'start value' is stored
    from 'unsigned int' to 'optional unsigned int'.
    This way - if there is no value applied - the variable will hold NULL.
    However - if a value is set - it can be 0 or more.
    This meant also tweaking all the places that used to get this value,
    so that now they handle an 'optional uint', instead of a 'uint'.
