--- Comment #69 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #68) (not continuing the discussion about how "real" page numbers are set.) > Note that the wish to show numbers outside of the existing > range is wrong *in principle*. There is bug 149480; please think about it. > The page field must not show any "random" number: it must show the number > *flexibly* assigned to a specified page. Only having that page physically, > can you know what page number is assigned to it - it could be an arbitrary > number, say, 1 again (because user specified that manually). Its type may be > arbitrary, say, Roman or Arabic. That logic applies is when the user wants to cross-reference a different page. What most users want when setting the offset field - and what motivates this bug report and its 12 (!) dupes - is to show the number of the _current_ page, but with an offset. In other words, users want (and are told by the UI that they will get): ApplyOffset(GetNumberOf(CurrentPage()), N ) while the behavior the spec allows us to offer using the page-adjust attribute is: GetNumberOf(ApplyOffset(CurrentPage(), N)) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
