Description Stefan 2015-10-05 16:50:00 UTC 
1.) Open Modify "Default Style" (Sidebar->Styles & Formatting)
2.) Open Tab "Header" -> set "Header on" & SET "Same content on first page"
3.) Open Tab "Footer" -> set "Header on" & UNSET "Same content on first page"
4.) Click OK to Close
5.) Open the Dialog again and check the values. As you can see, "Same content on first page" at "Footer" is activated again. The setting of "Header" will overwrite these setting on "Footer"

Reproduced on 5.0.2.2

There was an error in the description (#2):

1.) Open Modify "Default Style" (Sidebar->Styles & Formatting)
2.) Open Tab "Header" -> set "Header on" & SET "Same content on first page"
3.) Open Tab "Footer" -> set "Footer on" & UNSET "Same content on first page"
4.) Click "OK" to Close
5.) Open the Dialog again and check the values. As you can see, "Same content on first page" at "Footer" is activated again. The setting of "Header" will overwrite these setting on "Footer"

This is by design.. So maybe could be changed with an enhancement?
Comment 4 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2018-03-05 11:46:45 UTC 
essentially this is a UI bug - the implementation does not allow toggling footer sharing separately from header sharing, because no file format supports that.

also, there is bug 100287 about the same issue.
