--- Comment #2 from ajlittoz <[email protected]> --- At first, I was not sure to understand bug 65412, mainly for a terminology issue (outside/inside -- of what?-- used instead of outer/inner as in the dialogs) and the anchor. Anchoring "To page" is generally an error because it creates a single-usage frame hard-attached to a specific physical page. Therefore the frame occurs only once. Anchoring "To paragraph" causes potentially repetition of the frame (this is what is implied by inserting a page number in the frame) when the paragraph is in the header or footer. In this case, mirrored layout cause left/right alternation, NO MATTER WHETHER THE FRAME IS IN A MARGIN OR NOT. I mean that horizontal position like "1 cm from left" should behave as "1 cm from right" on the mirrored page. I admit this is ambiguous because we don't know if "1 cm from left" is originally specified in a left or right page and there is no way to tell. "Outer margin" and "Inner margin" are not ambiguous but they only request a sub-area of the page. But here, something like "1 cm from left" remains ambiguous with regard to mirroring. Comments by @Regina did not clarify the problem. The only interesting remark is "the feature is broken by design". Rereading carefully bug 65412, I think my report is finally a duplicate. I don't mind closing it with DUPLICATE status. Problem still present in 7.6.5.2 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
